Form & Verdict
Showed some very useful form before becoming disappointing on the Flat in Ireland in 2022; just a respectable fourth on last spring's hurdling debut at Worcester (2m, good) and well beaten on both starts this winter but makes handicap hurdle debut from a lowly mark and market support will make him of interest.

Has been running well, and winning, over hurdles so fitness won't be an issue on this return to Flat action and has the form to feature off this mark; versatile ground-wise and there are no stamina issues.

Ended last season in excellent form, winning twice at Market Rasen (2m/2m2f, good), and his second at Market Rasen (2m, good) 12 days ago was another good effort; should be fine over this longer trip; respected.

Unexposed after only four hurdling starts but was pulled up when upped to 2m5f for last month's handicap debut; drops back in trip here; major improvement needed.

Caused 22-1 surprise at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) in January and backed up that performance with keeping-on second at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) soon afterwards but her form dipped last month and she needs to rebound.

Placed only one from 13 starts over hurdles and often spoils his chance by refusing to settle; 2lb wrong here; difficult to enthuse over.

0-13 over hurdles but went down fighting when close second at Southwell (2m4f, good) in May and again ran well at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month; well suited by ground slower than good; high on the list.

Three runs since wind surgery and the blip came over fences; clear second at Southwell last time (2m4f, good) and might well have won had he not fluffed the last flight; should run well off just 3lb higher.

Pulled up after sketchy round of jumping on chasing debut in February and now reverts to hurdling; given a chance by the handicapper in this sphere but his record is not compelling and he has raced mainly on ground slower than good.

Eight-race maiden who struggled in all three handicap hurdles, the latest over C&D 13 months ago; Paul Webber is persisting with him, but it's probably wise to wait for some encouraging signals from the betting.
