10yo who won the Grand Annual Handicap (2m, soft) last March and good second in graduation chase at Carlisle (2m, good) in November; ran as well as could be expected in Grade 2 at Cheltenham (2m, good) two days later and holds far more realistic claims now back in a handicap; possible player. |

11st 10lb |
Listed bumper winner on soft ground in 2020; landed the valuable novices' handicap on this card a year ago and resumed with another two wins in the autumn, the latter in a Wincanton Grade 2 (1m7f, good to firm); his improvement seems to have levelled off since the turn of the year but he didn't run badly when third at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in February and should be fine over today's trip. |

In decent form over hurdles and fences this year and only 1lb higher than for latest gallant second in a 2m5f handicap chase at Roscommon; stays this far. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Good second at Cartmel (2m5f, good) on latest chase start in June and placed in big-field handicap hurdles on next two outings; below form when tried in cheekpieces (now removed) for latest hurdling start but has a significant role to play if all goes to plan here. |

Took well to first-time blinkers at Uttoxeter (3m) in May but the headgear didn't have the same effect at Newbury (well beaten) last month; brings mixed messages in the retained blinds. |
