Just a respectable fourth when favourite for recent stable debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) and now 0-7 over hurdles but that was his first run since January 2022 and today's longer trip will suit; could be dangerous if that recent outing has brought him on. |

Safely held in first two handicaps but ran considerably better than eventual 25l defeat might suggest here (2m7f, good to soft) last month, having led a field of 17 over the penultimate flight; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added today; one to consider. |

Generally consistent 9yo who has found one too good on his last four starts, including when turned over at short odds latest; still 7lb above last summer's win and, while he should be thereabouts again, he'll likely prove vulnerable to less-exposed rivals for the win. |
