Form & Verdict
Won back-to-back handicap hurdles in late 2022 when with Gary Moore; nothing to show in two hurdles for this yard but returned to winning ways on the Flat when a 3l winner over C&D three weeks ago (heavy); back in the good books and 5lb rise not the end of the world.

Form & Verdict
Essentially disappointing since impressing in a 1m2f maiden on last year's reappearance but can be forgiven his comeback run as testing ground doesn't seem to suit him; therefore, could be granted another chance as that was his first start after being gelded and undergoing further wind surgery; unraced beyond 1m4f.

His only appearance at Chester was a successful one in eight-runner handicap last August (2m, good to firm) off 3lb lower than today, in a manner that was encouraging for this test; absent since a lesser show in September but scored in 2024 after a 113-day layoff and needs a close look.
