Probably better known as a chaser now but posted a sound effort when second over C&D (good) of his lower hurdle mark last month; can go well again but doesn't always find a great deal at the business end.

Has yet to build on a good third back from a break in May, although he faced a stiff task from out of the weights in a Class 2 at Uttoxeter last month; down 2lb and this is easier but he's become unreliable and others have more pressing claims.

1-13 over fences; had plenty of form in the mud over two years ago but, after a long layoff, his form in 2023 and 2024 was much better on good ground rather than softer; close third off this mark at Kelso three weeks ago and he has a good chance if repeating that form.

Nothing like the force of old but easily made all over 2m1f here (good) off much-reduced mark last month, his third course win; had to settle for third when warm favourite over that trip here on Saturday but will be fine over this longer distance and can make his presence felt again.
