Form & Verdict
Idled late on when edging home at Doncaster (1m6f, good) last week, with Punxsutawney Phil a close third, and a 2lb rise won't prevent him from being bang there again if in the same form; 2m is fine.

J: Mr Alex Chadwick

Flat winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but has responded positively to this headgear combination the last twice in handicaps over 2m5f and 2m3f (both on good); strong stayer on the Flat so this longer trip is worth a go.

Form & Verdict
Useful dual-purpose performer who was placed on the AW (2m) and over hurdles before pulling up in a handicap at the Cheltenham Festival and then finishing tailed off in a Flat handicap at Doncaster when soft ground shouldn't have been too big an issue; has a bit to prove in blinkers and regarding his current form.

Often a slow starter but still won nicely at Hamilton (1m5f, good to soft) last time and that was on the back of a close fourth of 16 at Newmarket (soft); 3lb rise is fine and he goes on this quicker ground.

Two wins last year (good to soft/soft; including here) and he took a six-runner C&D handicap (good) in May; however, slow starts can be an issue and he was well beaten at Thirsk last time; the cheekpieces had no positive impact on sole previous use in 2021; others are more compelling.

Mostly very good since joining this yard, over hurdles and on the Flat from 1m4f to 2m; held his own in a deep 1m4f York handicap most recently (cheekpieces joined regular tongue-tie) and, while he goes in just the visor now, he looks a big player.
