Nine hurdle wins, the latest when cruising clear in four-runner race at Kempton (2m5f, good) last month; that was only his second start for Olly Murphy but the value of the form is questionable, given the two market principals disappointed and the runner-up was returning from a long absence. |

Made a winning start over fences at Newbury (2m4f, good) in November and he has run in a higher grade since, fading when 18l third of five in the Grade 1 Kauto Star at Kempton (3m) on Boxing Day; back in a handicap here but he'll need a career best to defy joint top weight. |

Second in Grade 2 at Wetherby (3m, soft) in November 2023; well held in Grade events later last term and the same with cheekpieces enlisted for three handicaps in the spring; creeping down the weights and off 261 days, it will be interesting to see if there's market support but others have more pressing claims. |

Dual novice hurdle winner in 2024, the latest on stable debut at Kelso (2m2f, soft) in April; only just beaten in both starts in handicaps after returning from a break with a hood fitted in November; up another 2lb but still a major player, especially if benefiting from the subsequent wind operation. |

Posted career-best performance when winning readily from the front at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in December but weakened rather tamely there later that month, and a switch to patient tactics didn't pay dividends at Ascot in March; now has a point to prove. |

3-3 at Wincanton (two bumpers/novice); effective on soft ground but won't mind returning to a drier surface after two rather underwhelming efforts at Cheltenham and here; strong form claims if back to anything like his best. |
