11st 10lb

J: Tom Bellamy

T: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls

Came from poor position to win by 7l on chasing debut at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in June 2024 and returned from long absence with good second over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) in August, where he travelled much more sweetly; it's hard to tell what mood he'll be in here but he could still have significant potential over fences.

Easy Huntingdon winner (2m3f, Class 5 handicap hurdle) last October and placed off a higher mark here next time; however, his last two efforts have been below-par, pulling-up at Taunton two months ago; switches to fences with enough to prove at present.

Unexposed 5yo who ran big race in defeat on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in August; nudged up only 1lb for that and remains very much of interest.

Seemingly aided by first-time hood when runner-up at Southwell (2m4f, good) in May, his second handicap, but last month's reappearance run there was disappointing and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry.
