Form & Verdict
Came good over fences in three-runner race at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) last summer and made the frame over C&D on next two outings; well handicapped on those exploits and returned from long layoff with fairly encouraging run here this month; contender if that recent outing brought him on.

Won three points during the spring and has finished second in two C&D chases (both on good ground) for new stable in recent weeks; went up 5lb for the latter run but won't mind of the ground turns soft today and is likely to make his presence felt again.

Form & Verdict
In good form over hurdles when last seen in the spring, most notably when winning at Ascot (2m7f, good); might have future over fences but this chasing debut comes after a 144-day break and the drip back to 2m is not an obvious move.

Two good runs behind subsequent winners at Hereford and Catterick (both 3m1f, good) in late 2025; always struggling over an inadequate 1m7f at Wincanton (no headgear; cheekpieces return) in April and perhaps fortunate to get dropped 2lb; fair chance of another win.

Hurdles winner here in 2023; well held in two chases this autumn but reverted to hurdling with a win at Southwell (2m4f) in November, travelling best before asserting close home; off since and 6lb higher today, and he's unraced beyond 2m5f under rules, but keeping away from soft ground is seemingly a help.
