Form & Verdict
Pulled up on first two starts for Ryan Potter (both in March) and returned from break with underwhelming run last month; needs to up his game but might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces here and is well worth keeping a close eye on in the betting; best form is on ground slower than good.

Returned to form with front-running win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft; refitted cheekpieces) in September and lost out only by a nose at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month; had hard race when fifth at Carlisle (2m4f, heavy) 18 days ago but certainly didn't run badly there, and remains of interest.

Bounced back to form and landed a gamble when making virtually all at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft; refitted cheekpieces) a fortnight ago, his fourth start for Ryan Potter; may not be ideally suited by the forecast faster ground but recent 7lb rise ought to be manageable.

Form & Verdict
Yet to add to his two Irish hurdling wins in 2019 but runner-up on both starts for new stable this summer, latterly when 5l behind Presenting Pete over C&D (good) three weeks ago; better off at the weights with him today and likely to cope much better if the ground is softer; good chance.

Runner-up in his first three runs for this yard (all handicaps from 2m to 2m4f) and perhaps 2m4f on heavy around an ultra-stiff Carlisle was a bit much last time, having weakened late on (just behind Bon Retour); unlikely to be far away.

Narrowly denied in a maiden hurdle at Warwick (2m3f, good) in April only to disappoint in a novice next time when tried in cheekpieces; tongue-tie fitted for handicap debut here and has the ability to cope with this mark; more interesting than most of these.

Had a good time of it over fences on good ground in summer of 2022 (won three times at up to 2m5f and was second on five occasions); seemed to lose his way over fences in May, so back hurdling now and was a good second at Worcester in August (2m4f, good to soft); chance on that form.

Course bumper winner who is 0-12 over hurdles/fences but he's been an encouraging third this autumn on two of his three chase starts, including in first-time blinkers (retained) at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) recently when he went clear before fading; could capitalise on the drop back down in trip.
