Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish maiden; managed only third when warm favourite for stable debut over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m7f, soft) in December and began this year with two lesser efforts (3m1f/2m4f; bled from nose on latter occasion); makes chasing debut with some questions to answer but no surprise if he comes good for Harry Derham soon.

Handicap mark took a hit for his drawn-out hat-trick (third win came after 334 days off) and he's now back from another absence after pulling up on final appearance; very much up against it from 8lb out of the handicap.

Form & Verdict
Built upon encouraging stable debut when narrowly beating a next-time-out winner over C&D (good) in March; not seen to quite the same effect over 2m7f here last month but there were mitigating circumstances, and he remains very much of interest.

Two wins at around 2m4f on good ground include one here a year ago; he did score over 3m in a point in 2022, but two weakening efforts in the spring took his rules record beyond 2m5f to 6664; blinkers go on.

C&D winner who has dropped 3lb below his last winning mark, but modest in two starts since returning in March as when around 40l behind Cloudy Wednesday at Fakenham (3m, good) last month; has undergone wind surgery since then and interesting to see how he fares with a first-time tongue-tie joining the cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Safely held when fourth of seven here (2m7f, good) on recent chasing debut, having raced a bit too freely, but remains lightly raced and it will be interesting to see when combination of drop back in trip and first-time cheekpieces enables improvement; 3lb out of the weights.

Returned from long absence with a promising stable debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, when he travelled strongly for a long way, and he was unlucky to be brought down fairly early on at Hexham this month; remains well handicapped on old form; might be the answer.
