Potentially well handicapped but had been hunter chasing before pulling up on his return to handicaps at Market Rasen. |

C&D winner last summer off 4lb higher and ran to a fair level when runner-up in a hunter chase in May; likely to run well. |

12st 8lb |
Won this last season on soft ground; this year's two non-completions came over a trip too short and over the National fences at Aintree; got back on track with a respectable fourth at Ludlow; should go well. |

12th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Irish point winner in 2019 (3m); has been campaigned mainly over shorter distances since then, latest win being over 2m4f at Haydock in April 2022 (good); excuses for two poor runs on last two starts, but a bit to prove now. |

28th Dec 2022 Good 2m 4f 25y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won a valuable series final at Haydock in April off only 2lb lower (2m4f, good to soft); bit below that afterwards, though was reportedly ready for a break when pulled up in June; can go well fresh. |

Had a break since latest 21l defeat at Cartmel, which was only three days after finishing a close third there; this mark is manageable but Cartmel suits and his record here isn't great. |

Hurdle winner at Pau in January 2021; midfield finish at Auteuil in September of that year and absent since; interesting to see what the betting makes of him on stable debut after his layoff. |

Returned from latest wind op with pretty good second at Southwell (3m, good) in June but has not been firing on all cylinders since; behind two of today's rivals when sixth at Hereford (3m1f, good) three weeks ago and needs to up his game. |
