Form & Verdict
Despite slipping 3f out he won a bumper at Hexham (2m, good) last June on his second start before a fair third at Stratford (2m, good) in July; absent since and unproven on slow ground but he brings potential to this hurdle debut and returns with his trainer among the winners.

Form & Verdict
He could do with jumping with greater fluency and better could have been expected at Wetherby last month (2m, soft; suffered from post-race heat-stress) but prior to that this three-time Flat winner was a promising third on hurdle debut at Ayr (2m, soft), form which makes him a leading player.

Two-time Flat winner for Harry Eustace in October 2022 (1m2f, soft/good to soft); sold for 15,000gns last October; patchy campaign last year but ran okay last time out and makes hurdle debut in what looks a modest contest; one of three for the stable and he's not ruled out.
