Form & Verdict
Bought for £80,000 after justifying favouritism in an Irish point by 9l (yielding); had wind surgery prior to rules debut at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) where he kept on to be beaten under 4l; the runner-up has improved since and now has a BHA mark of 127.

He's well handicapped on his 2024 chase form (won here) but his subsequent profile has been mixed and he was soundly beaten when back over fences at Carlisle two months ago; others have more pressing claims.

Beat a well-backed Skelton handicap debutant with a subsequent winner in third when off the mark in a Uttoxeter maiden (2m, soft) but he finished a weary last at Sandown in a handicap for military amateur riders; perhaps best to turn a blind eye to that and he can be given another chance.

Beaten about 43l on hurdling debut just under a year ago and has form-figures of PRP in the meantime; however, she put in a pretty good front-running shift before tiring over 2m5f on her latest outing and today's drop back in trip looks the right move on her handicap debut; worth a second look.
