Won twice over this trip for Amanda Perrett last season; has not fired in two runs for Archie Watson this summer (got involved in a battle with Foursome a long way out at Doncaster four weeks ago) but he's the type to bounce back sooner rather than later.

Ended long losing run when scoring off 1lb lower at Southwell (2m, Tapeta) in November; some creditable efforts since but his form nosedived at Southwell 11 days ago and he needs to bounce back from that heavy defeat.

10yo whose last three wins (in 2022, 2023 and 2025) came in the 2m handicap he contested here six weeks ago; could only manage 5l third to the reopposing Prince Quattro in this year's renewal; 4lb better off with that rival this time but it may not be enough.

Form & Verdict
The addition of blinkers (tried cheekpieces once) saw him finally deliver on earlier promise when coming home clear in a 1m6f handicap at Nottingham (good) last month; 6lb rise not insurmountable if the headgear has the same effect a second time; Simon Walker booked.

Four thirds over hurdles (from seven attempts) in the midst of his extensive Flat career; that includes off this mark behind Crafty Gael over nearly 3m at Worcester three weeks ago but he seemingly needs to find a bit extra to get off the mark in this sphere.

Creditable third of 17 on handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in January 2024; seen only twice over jumps since, latterly when safely held at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, but stays well on the Flat so this new trip could suit.
