Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the sixth attempt under rules when justifying support in a Fakenham handicap (2m4f, good) last Friday; has a penalty to deal with but he knuckled down well to beat an odds-on rival last time and this unexposed 5yo is open to more progress; big player.

T: Neil Mulholland

Good second in major handicap at Kempton (2m5f) in January, putting a few non-completions (fences/hurdles) behind him; has performed below market expectations in two starts since but is a likely player provided he bounces back with usual hood removed.

Six wins in 2024 but out of luck since; only third in this race last year but a sterling effort when runner-up in the Lanzarote over C&D in January off this mark and he'll be better off back at this trip after the race didn't pan out for him at Musselburgh (3m) since; respected.

No show at big prices in his three hurdle runs but this unexposed 5yo now goes handicapping and he's a half-brother to two winners in this sphere; looks a possible improver upped in trip and he's one to keep an eye on; cheekpieces added.

Eyecatching fifth of 15 in a Ludlow novice (2m, good to soft) in October but he's not gone on from that and was pulled up on his handicap debut at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) last month; still lightly raced but he needs to turn things around with tongue-tie added.

Has struggled at massive prices in his three hurdle runs but he had a daunting task behind a 1-4 shot at Huntingdon last time and this is much more realistic; out of a 2m3f hurdle winner and he could show a lot more upped in trip on his handicap debut.
