Form & Verdict
Sole win was a novice hurdle (3m, heavy) in Ireland in March 2023; with new yard over the last year, easily his most competitive shows coming with cheekpieces in the mud on last two outings (1m6f/2m2f); needs extra and now tries a visor.

Series of good runs last season, notably when justifying favouritism in this race (soft) off 7lb lower; also won in Abu Dhabi in January (1m4f, good) and wasn't disgraced back here four weeks ago after six months off, albeit having been backed into second favouritism; needs overall improvement and 5lb claimer is enlisted.

Form & Verdict
Won three of his six handicaps, seriously in charge in small fields over 1m4f at Leicester in July on last two; blinkered on last three; none of those six handicaps were on softer than good, which poses a big question but new trip is plausible and he was improving prior to this 85-day absence.
