Won on October's chasing debut at Wetherby (2m5f, good) but that was in a match and he was well held in his final two runs last year; still has potential in this sphere but he needs to step up again after 147 days off; stablemate of Mister Bells.

Four-time chase winner; gave pretty good account when fourth over C&D (good to soft) last month and his subsequent Newcastle fifth was perfectly respectable; suited by good ground; each-way claims at least.

Sole success in 18 starts (including three points) came at Kelso (2m6f, good) last April; fair third of eight here (2m4f, soft) last month and is back off his winning mark, but he still has stamina to prove and may prefer better ground.

His profile has been patchy since he won a novice hurdle at Perth (2m, good) in September 2022 and he doesn't look straightforward, dropping away tamely with blinkers added (retained) over 2m5f here three weeks ago; the return to 2m will probably help but he's still hard to be confident about.

Second of five over C&D last July; that's his best result over hurdles and he was below that level in his four starts since; off 177 days before latest, however, so he may be able to build on that and he did give some encouragement.
