Form & Verdict
Made late headway when 15l sixth of 16 on handicap debut at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in December 2022; absent since but there's stamina in his pedigree and he's an interesting candidate now up in distance on his return.

Made late headway when 15l sixth of 16 on handicap debut over 2m1f at Down Royal in December 2022; hacked up in a 3m handicap at Perth last month on return from 640-day absence; now 17lb higher than when originally assessed but has matured well during his layoff; leading chance.

3m point runner-up who also finished second on hurdle debut at Kelso (2m, heavy) last December; two lesser runs have followed (2m3f/2m, soft/good to soft) but he could relish the step up in trip on today's handicap debut; one of two unexposed 5yos for the stable.

Just one win from 19 starts over hurdles but that was off 10lb higher last spring and he was a respectable third over C&D (good) three weeks ago; seems versatile ground-wise and could be dangerous for yard that won this in 2020 and 2021.

0-9 but he's been a fair third over C&D (good to firm/good) the last twice and he might be the type who will be sharper for the first-time cheekpieces; could have a part to play.

Not in much form over fences before finishing tailed off on the Flat in May, but steadied the ship when running respectably from the front back hurdling at Perth (2m4f, good; beaten 7l); stays this far and if as good again he should make presence felt.
