Form & Verdict
Ex-French gelding who is 3-7 in Britain and 2-3 since joining this yard, his latest success when beating a subsequent winner over C&D (good) last month; 4lb higher, but may still have more to offer for the yard and soft ground no problem; high on list.

His form has deteriorated and he was only eighth at Wincanton last month; however, he had shown spark when third at Taunton in November following a break, and he's not ruled out now back at the scene of his last two wins.

Form & Verdict
Won a juvenile maiden hurdle by 10l over C&D (good to soft, first-time hood) on Boxing Day but hasn't built on it since, not always looking the most natural of hurdlers; return here may help on handicap debut, but risks are attached.

Improved plenty when switching to handicaps at the end of 2021, winning well over 2m on a soft surface at Lingfield and Sandown; off 14 months before pulling up at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft) last month, but he had previously looked so promising and would be a danger to all if rediscovering his form.
