Form & Verdict
1-21, but has made the frame behind Ney in his last two starts, finishing closer to him when second of nine at Ripon (2m, good) three weeks ago; softer ground no an issue and has been placed over 2m6f on the Flat, so this stiffer test not an issue; respected.

All five wins at 2m, including three on soft going, latterly at Catterick in October; went back-to-back at Newcastle (AW) at the start of the year and fourth at Ripon (2m, good) on latest outing was close to his best; same mark, so needs to find extra, but he can't be ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Dual winner over 2m at Catterick on a soft surface in autumn of 2022 and placed several times since, albeit on a losing run of 13; finished behind a couple of these back there last time, though, so she needs to find more from somewhere; cheekpieces return.

3-5 since the blinkers went on and bids for a hat-trick from a 4lb higher mark after wins on good ground at Catterick (1m6f) and Ripon (2m); handled soft ground well over hurdles when trained in Ireland so likely to be bang there once again.

In fine form early last year with back-to-back soft-ground wins in a rated chase at this venue and a Fairyhouse novice chase (3m2f); moderate fifth over hurdles on seasonal return; next two chase starts were uninspiring; kept on well for second over 2m6f here five weeks ago; this trip could help to bring out the best in him.
