Comes into this on the pick of his hurdles and chase form in late 2024 but he missed all of last year and has been soundly beaten on the Flat since returning to action in June; hard to know what ability remains.

Useful hurdler who is 1-1 over fences having won a four-runner beginners' chase at Haydock (2m4f, soft) on last month's reappearance; today's task is tougher and he has something to find, but he's unexposed over fences and at this sort of trip, and he may well have more to offer.

Four of his seven wins have come over 1m4f/1m6f here and showed he retained ability when winning a handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good) in May; now makes his debut for his eighth different trainer (same owners) and his course record makes him of interest.
