Form & Verdict
None too consistent but he goes well in the mud and ran about as well as he's ever done when beaten a nose over C&D (soft) three weeks ago; raised 3lb as a result but that should not stop him putting up another bold show.

4-27 at Hamilton, which has dominated his itinerary but he also has two wins elsewhere; made a respectable return to Flat over C&D two weeks ago under Lexie Clarkson and could build on that to get seriously involved.

Four-time course winner, most recently over today's trip (good to soft) in September; ended 2025 with two below-par hurdle runs, though, and would appeal more on ground slower than good.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 6yo; returning from third lengthy absence (and second breathing operation) when ninth of 12 over C&D (soft) three weeks ago on first start for this stable; needs to build on that but it's not inconceivable that he will; has possibilities.

Returned from a long absence to make stable debut in July and he was an encouraging third of six at Hamilton (1m3f, heavy) in August on his second start back; continues to drop down the weights and he could take another step back in the right direction this afternoon; one to consider.
