Form & Verdict
This is his first run for a year but he showed considerable promise when easily winning a bumper (2m, good to soft) last October, and when runner-up on hurdle debut (2m, heavy) when last seen; leading claims if anywhere near his best on this comeback outing.

Won off 2lb lower at Kelso (2m5f, good) last April but he's not seen much action since and has been beaten 39l in both runs this year; has some questions to answer and he needs a big turnaround.

Course winner (2m5f, good) a year ago; absent since disappointing run in January but his C&D (good to soft) second just after Christmas was a good effort and he'll be right in the thick of things if back on song today.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on debut in British maiden point (2m4f, soft) in January and, while he was beaten in third when falling at the final flight at Huntingdon (2m3f, good to soft) last month on his first rules start, that was still a positive performance; open to improvement; one to be interested in.

Off the mark with an easy win at Huntingdon in January (2m, good to soft); another good run at that track 18 days ago, making the running and jumping the last in front but tiring on the run-in, passed by Pescatorius in the final 100yds; should run well again.

Went up 10lb for winning over 2m here in January and never really threatened to follow up at Market Rasen (can be inconsistent); even if back on song he might be on a tough mark; probably stays this far.

Promising second on debut in bumper here (2m, good to soft) in March and when a well-beaten third at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago on his first hurdle start he was badly hampered on the bend after four out; retains potential and could have a part to play.

Defied this mark at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in October 2024; only four runs since but he returned after another break with a front-running third at Huntingdon (2m5f) three weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he's not ruled out on this drop back in trip.
