Landed a notable prize at Chepstow (near 2m4f, good; 3lb higher today) in October but failed to show his form in his three starts since; Sean Bowen rides him for the first time since Chepstow; he'd still be a surprise winner.

There was no return to form on his two starts this winter; arrives with plenty to prove but he's down to a dangerous mark and, if he is to stage a revival, it's likely to be here where he's posted both victories.

Four-time hurdles winner for James Moffatt but disappointing during light campaign for that yard last season; encouraging stable debut when clear second of four at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in December; well handicapped on older form, while he's won over this sort of trip and on heavy; considered.

Form & Verdict
Won a novice chase here in May 2022 (3m, good); had run well over hurdles the previous year (won a 2m4f Ayr novice and was seventh in the 3m Albert Bartlett); returns to hurdles on a good mark but hard to know what to expect after a 550-day break, although Sean Bowen partners him rather than Rambo T.
