Well backed when reverting to fences at Newcastle (2m7f, soft) in November and bounced back to form with a win; his inconsistent profile is a concern but he remains well treated back up 5lb and has won over C&D. |

Travelled well before being delivered after the final fence by Brian Hughes to win cosily over 3m at Carlisle (heavy); he'll be into unknown territory when beyond 3m1f but shapes as though he stays all day. |

16th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Thorough stayer who made all to win by 14l over C&D (soft) three weeks ago and is now 7-39 over fences; this is more competitive than the races he's used to contesting, though, and he probably doesn't have much margin for error after recent 5lb rise. |

Prominent racer who won at Hexham in December (3m, heavy) and at Catterick in January (3m1f, soft); stiffer task here but visor back on; should go well again. |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, smooth headway before 3 out, led going best before 2 out, not fluent 2 out, nudged along approaching last, headed run-in, weakened inside final 110yds |

23rd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has modest 2-28 career strike-rate and is not the force of old but his chase win was gained on heavy ground and he posted a sound effort when second at Hexham (2m4f, soft) last month; tries a new trip here; contender if stamina holds out. |

11st 12lb |
Not seen under rules since pulled up over C&D 11 months ago; a dual winner in the pointing field in 2025 however so this one-time fair winning 3m chaser can't be dismissed. |

23rd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Just held on to win over C&D (good) in March 2022 but has run to form on only one of four subsequent appearances; struggled (albeit over 2m3f) on recent seasonal debut and may not be ideally suited by the forecast heavy ground here; others preferred. |

Struggled off lowly mark in Newcastle handicap chase on latest outing in November and is now 0-17 under all codes; 5lb out of the weights here; tongue-tie refitted; can't be recommended. |
