Form & Verdict
This race in 2022 was the first of his four wins over hurdles, the second also came over C&D and he added Fontwell wins last April and June; backward steps lately but he's bounced back before and is 1lb below his last winning mark; shortlisted.

1m3f win on the Flat in Germany in 2022; gave a whiff of ability in the second of his three starts over hurdles in Britain and had wind surgery since latest; also now tongue tied and makes his handicap hurdle debut, so there would be reasons if his fortunes took a turn for the better.

Verdict

Cases can be made for some of the others, with a bit of speculation and imagination, but this is probably a weak race and one best left to its 2022 winner TARA ITI and the last-time-out Newcastle winner Ferrybridge. To win this would require something of an upturn in form from Tara Iti but his last win was as recent as last June and he has a 1lb lower mark today.[Richard Austen]
