Second in the C&D Grade 1 novice at this meeting last year; went on to finish first and second in handicaps over the extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter at the start of the summer but well below par both starts since a break, latterly at the Cheltenham Festival; combination of first-time cheekpieces and a return to this C&D needs to spark a revival.

Ran well over about 3m on most starts last March-June, including 50-1 second in substandard Grade 1 novice at Aintree; took an age to warm up in that race, however, which makes this trip look against him, and no impact on last three outings; latest (11 days ago) was after four months off.

Out of a dual Flat winner who won three over hurdles for this yard; second in a bumper in 2023 was followed by three remote finishes over hurdles but his 11l fourth of 11 on handicap debut at Lingfield (2m, heavy; 10-1) one month ago offered more hope.
