Completed a hat-trick for Alan Jones last April-June and continued in good form up to August; however, well beaten here in October when last seen and needs to be back to his very best on this stable debut. |

AW winner but 0-12 over hurdles and he's not bred for chasing; this looks a big ask from out of the weights. |

AW winner over 1m4f but 0-11 over hurdles; respectable efforts off low marks in handicaps at Ludlow (3m, good) and Newton Abbot (2m2f, soft) but up against it on these terms. |

Gave good account when fourth of 17 at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) six weeks ago and has the services of Harry Cobden today but is 0-11 over hurdles now and others in the line-up have more potential. |

Launched handicap career with two respectable fifths for Harriet Dickin this spring, latterly in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); needs to take a step forward here but had wind surgery in June and it will be interesting to see what Donald McCain can do with him. |

Outran 28-1 odds when second in Stratford maiden (2m, good) this summer but was well beaten when back in a handicap in October and is now 0-7 over hurdles; others have more pressing claims. |

Subject of a gamble when runner-up at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in January, but hasn't matched that effort since including on his first start back with his former trainer (following a second wind operation) at Fakenham (2m, good) last month; others preferred. |

Won a 1m claimer on soft at Gowran in May 2023; best run over hurdles when runner-up in a Hereford novice for this yard in January (2m, good to soft); not done as well for two different trainers over hurdles and on the Flat since; on a good mark and interesting back with Tony Charlton having had wind surgery. |
