Form & Verdict
Won a Hexham novice handicap off 4lb lower in November (2m, heavy); runner-up on last two starts, in a 2m handicap hurdle here and last time on chase debut at Newcastle (2m, heavy); below par two previous attempts at this trip, but was running on well over 2m last time so return to 2m4f may suit; tongue-tie now tried.

Four-time hurdle winner who is 0-6 over fences (despite a lower mark) and was beaten a good way at Hexham (3m) on his return to this discipline after a break; the other two appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Dual bumper winner on good/good to soft; fair form in three runs over hurdles, notably when second to a decent prospect at Newton Abbot in October (2m1f, heavy; pair clear); below par only previous try at this trip (treated for post-race ataxia); interesting on handicap debut.

Won four on the trot in July-October 2024 at about 2m4f, culminating in a Grade 2 novice event; long absence before three runs this year, easily best of those last time and that display gave some encouragement for this longer trip, but jumping was sketchy and cheekpieces are now applied.

Moderate Irish pointer; off for 554 days after winning a Fakenham maiden hurdle on stable debut in May 2022 (2m, good); best run since when runner-up to a subsequent easy winner at Sedgefield last time (2m4f, soft; third also won since); good chance on that form.
