Gained a maiden success over fences at Lingfield (2m) in November 2024 but lightly raced since and below par, coming in only third of four over 2m1f here two weeks ago; tried in different headgear now.

1-6 over fences, the win coming two seasons ago off 6lb higher (2m, soft); returned from a long absence in December and he's been a long way beneath that winning form in three races.

Won on first completion over fences, at Lingfield (2m, soft) in November 2024, but he hasn't run to the same level since, pulling up at Fontwell (first-time cheekpieces, retained) in January on second run back from an absence; has it to prove at present.

Not disgraced on debut when fifth at Sedgefield last October; that form nothing special but he should be able to build on it; one of three in this for Tim Vaughan and pedigree suggests will be suited by further.

Promising at about 1m2f for Ralph Beckett in his youth; only seen twice since July 2023, pulled up over hurdles (reportedly made a noise) for Harriet Dickin in September 2024 and down the field over 1m3f here on stable debut five weeks ago; up in trip with headgear back on; risky.

Best efforts have come on a sound surface, including when second (of four) on hurdle debut at Newbury three months ago; that form is ordinary but a repeat still makes him a leading contender in this.
