Form & Verdict
Triple Flat winner at 1m2f-1m3f, including on soft; has run to a useful level in all three hurdle starts and he was tenacious in defeat at Kempton (2m, good to soft) when there was virtually nothing between him and a well-supported useful bumper winner; the one to beat.

Last of nine on the Flat last week, after a break, but won C&D novice hurdle (good to soft) in January and his handicap run at Kempton (2m, good) in April was arguably better than eventual 22l defeat suggests; on a good mark; dangerous to ignore.

Form & Verdict
Produced a bright finish after meeting with interference on British debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in November; found nothing on soft ground at Plumpton since but good to soft ground could be important to him; forecast claims back in a novice with cheekpieces on.

Cheekpieces added for last three runs; has secured back-to-back C&D wins with the mimumum of fuss, last time defying a 5lb rise by a comfortable 14l; up another 10lb in stronger company now but hard to know where his limitations lie.

Form & Verdict
Three middle-distance Flat wins in 2023, on good and good to firm ground; fair runner-up on hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) in August but it wasn't strong form; best opportunities likely to arise in handicaps when the ground dries up.
