Off the mark over hurdles at fifth attempt, rallying gamely to regain lead on run-in at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) last week; has plenty of scope for further progress but the forecast rain is a worry here.

Won three in a row on the Flat in the spring (1m6f-2m) and was placed over hurdles on next two outings (2m/2m2f); has won over 2m7f before and could plausibly still have untapped potential as a stayer over jumps.

Form & Verdict
Showed improved form on handicap debut when seventh at Sedgefield last time (2m1f, good; hampered), when wearing a hood, first-time tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces; runs with just a tongue-tie this time; needs another step forward; stamina to prove (can be keen).

9yo who has been lightly raced since showing promise in novice hurdles in September 2022 but he returned to form with a close second at Hexham (2m4f, good) recently on his second start back from an absence and a repeat of that performance will put him firmly in the picture.
