Form & Verdict
He has shown promise on several occasions in his short career and his latest second at Kempton can be marked up as he was always caught out wide (1m4f); return to this shorter trip won't bother him; leading contender.

Consistent 4yo who kept on well for third in quite valuable Racing League handicap here (1m3f) in August; nudged up 2lb to career-high mark since but useful 3lb claimer Kaiya Fraser is enlisted; probably won't be far away.

Sole run on ground firmer than good was last June; off the mark at sixth attempt that season and solid efforts in handicaps this term, including a close call over 1m2f at Newbury (good) and clashes with The Goat over 1m4f on Kempton AW both starts since (won first of them); has to be considered.

4-6 on good ground over hurdles, notching another personal best when returning from a break to win readily at Plumpton (2m; 15-2) last month; a 10lb rise demands further improvement but he's thriving and should encounter suitable conditions again.

Very progressive in completing a good-ground hat-trick last year and when third to Tutti Quanti in a Class 1 handicap at Newbury in November (soft); still on a competitive mark despite all that and for whatever reason he didn't show his true form at Kempton on final sighting at Christmas; if forgiven that, and he's had a break, then he enters the picture.

Pretty useful in 2024 on Flat; won on good ground at Huntingdon, Warwick and Market Rasen (2m1f) in all three of his handicap hurdles, with mistakes at the last two flights on latest outing but he'd travelled much the best and won by nearly 2l; up another 6lb and in class but he keeps looking as if he has more up his sleeve.

Returned from break with wide-margin win in three-runner contest at Wincanton (3m, good) last month; the value of that form is open to question (leader crashed through rail and ran out in home straight) but she remains unexposed over this sort of trip and the handicapper has been pragmatic in raising her 4lb.
