Improved in this tongue-tie in the winter, winning two handicaps (2m3f, soft), and he may well have completed a hat-trick but for a final-flight mistake in a novice at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) four weeks ago; this smooth-travelling sort could have more left in the tank; strong claims.

Returns to a novice after running in handicaps, improving for the tongue-tie to win at Hereford (about 2m4f) and Ascot (about 2m3f, also soft); it was easily a career best last time and has since had a wind operation; sets the standard on RPRs; withdrawn from last week's Grade 1 novice at Cheltenham due to the drying ground; yard won this with Dashel Drasher in 2019.

Tailed off at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in December on sole outing this season; something to prove on that back of that but this very lightly raced 7yo is with a good yard and has shown promise previously; wears first-time cheekpieces and he's not written off.

Unexposed 6yo who was placed in a soft-ground bumper last spring and has also shown promise in three novice hurdles this season (2m-2m4f); untested on ground quicker than good to soft but should have some improvement to come in handicaps.

Placed in the second of his two bumpers and he ran well for a long way when a 7l sixth on hurdling debut at Exeter (2m, soft; first run after wind surgery) last month; didn't build on that when fifth at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last time but it's still early days and he should have more to offer; one of two runners for Paul Nicholls.

Not an instant success over fences this season but cheekpieces seem to have helped lately and he won by 5l off a reduced mark here (2m1f, good to soft) last month; moves up in grade today but should be fine over the longer trip and might use that recent success as a springboard.
