Form & Verdict
Beaten off a lower hurdle mark last time but ran well and that after a fine run of form over fences (112; 2m4f-3m2f); 4lb higher than for the second at Uttoxeter (3m2f) and no reason why he won't be on the scene once more.

He's struggled on his last four starts but is now 3lb lower than when winning at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last April and his southern trainer has a very healthy 24% strike-rate here; interesting, especially if backed.

Back from a break to deliver form figures of 132 in 2m7f/3m handicap chases and then placed over hurdles; not at his best returned to fences two months ago but has a big run in him if back in the zone here.

Placed on both previous C&D starts, including when beaten under 1l by On The Platform in this race (good to soft; headed last); out of sorts this year, however, and needs a positive response to wind surgery.

Made a winning debut over fences when scoring off this mark over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces) in April 2024; some solid efforts followed later that year but both starts since coming back from an absence have been uninspiring; hopes are pinned on his return to this venue and first-time blinkers.

Form & Verdict
Without a win since 2020 but produced some good late work on return from a 432-day absence (also stable debut) when third at Hexham (3m, good; 80-1, beaten 14l) in June; 3lb out of the weights that day and 4lb wrong here; hard to rule out, for all that stamina isn't assured.
