Form & Verdict
Useful pedigree; did not go on for Richard Hannon after showing promise in a soft-ground 1m3f Newbury maiden last spring but his hurdle debut third for this yard at Kempton (2m, good to soft) was a good start; open to improvement and can be involved, helped by the 4yo allowance.

Blinkered on last three outings, showing his best form on first two occasions (2m handicaps) but a remote third of seven when trying 2m4f on latest; switches to cheekpieces but also needs to prove his stamina.

Brother to yard's good jumper Lac De Constance and made an immediate impression himself when coming through strongly late on to win on hurdle debut at Newbury (2m, good to soft); not hard pressed and has good chance of defying a penalty.

Won debut and placed all five races since; the last three were warm handicaps, notably the Greatwood here (2m, good) penultimate start, in which he came from off pace to go down by half a length; off 81 days; youngster who's back up markedly in trip and brings potential for trainer with a fine record in Festival handicap hurdles, including winning the last two renewals of this one.

Fell late on hurdle debut in May 2022 but he defied an absence and a clumsy jump two out when winning at Leicester last month (1m7f, heavy); may well come on plenty for in-form yard but will probably need to.

Upped to 2m4f for his third handicap run he rewarded strong market support with a hard-fought success; came up short off a 10lb higher mark at Market Rasen three weeks ago and hopes appear to rest on another step up in trip prompting extra (bred to stay well).
