Likes Market Rasen and he kept digging (after getting outpaced) to be close up on his chase debut there last month (3m, good); ran well here over hurdles and, off an untouched mark from last time, he should be in the thick of it.

Jumped well when winning his second chase start at Warwick in September (3m, good to soft) and was reportedly struck into next time at Chepstow, which was a hot novice handicap; retains plenty of potential.

Sound jumping was a feature in his recent 3m win at Warwick (second chase start; good to soft); up 8lb in a race that will take appreciably more winning but with fitness on his side he's hard to dismiss.

Had a good summer in chases at up to 3m1f; lost a shoe when tailed off at Chepstow but soon back on track when a close third at Wetherby (3m, good); perhaps high in the weights now but a thorough stamina test could suit.

Two wins this season (3m1f/2m7f, good) and again ran well when second at Warwick (3m, good to soft) two starts ago; tailed off at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) since but he lost a shoe and he could bounce back today.

Placed in three consecutive chases during the winter (2m7f-3m, good to soft) but this first hurdling start since March 2024 comes after a five-month break, so his fitness must be taken on trust.

Creditable third over C&D (good to soft) in December, after a wind op, and probably bettered that performance when filling same position at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) last month; remains on a workable mark and seems likely to be right in the thick of things again.

Well handicapped on last season's hurdling form; well beaten on first three chase starts and there's a slight doubt about his stamina today, but he took a big step in the right direction when going close at Ludlow (2m4f, good) last time and could play a leading role if seeing out the trip.
