Last campaign was very hit and miss but included two wins over about 2m4f on heavy going and he seems to be working his way back to form this season; not proven beyond 2m5f but he's too well handicapped to be ignored.

Form & Verdict
Form figures of 232 after switching to fences but was pulled up last time at Exeter; no surprise were he to bounce back from that and all four career wins (bumpers/hurldes) were on left-handed tracks.

Below par when returning to hurdling at Southwell (2m4f, good) in March; has dropped 2lb since finishing fourth at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on his most recent chase start and has claims if able to reproduce the form of that or his Bangor success (2m4f, soft) last November; acts on a sound surface.

Good and bad since returned to fences (1P4); runs off a lower hurdles mark but he is a 10yo and without a win in this discipline since 2022.

Won back-to-back 2m4f handicap chases (on heavy) before pulling up in a strong Cheltenham handicap in January; travelling fine when falling four out at Chepstow latest and remains of interest.

Scored at Warwick (3m, good to soft) in December but he's failed to complete in three subsequent runs and didn't get very far at Stratford (unseated at first) two weeks ago; only 2lb lower than for his last success but he comes with risks attached.

Back to form when winning for a third time over fences in a 3m handicap at Warwick (good to soft) and would have won easier had he not idled late on; unseated midrace off this 4lb higher mark at Leicester three weeks later; respected.

Form & Verdict
Headstrong over hurdles but not so bad in that respect over fences and he made all over C&D three weeks ago (heavy); up 7lb for that 6l success but he's open to further improvement.

Hurdle/chase winner for the Moores in Britain with a peak hurdle rating of 130; some promise in three runs for this yard, notably on latest when fourth of 11 at Navan (2m6f, heavy), staying on from rear to challenge two out, fading late on; player dropped 1lb under top claimer.

Form & Verdict
Won a maiden hurdle for Nicky Henderson but then went 0-7 in handicaps; left behind by the front two when backed into favouritism on debut for this yard at Newbury on the back of a year out; interesting to see which way he goes from there but this Irish maiden point winner should make a chaser.
