Impossible to rate last year's Wetherby junior hurdle win (2m, good) confidently, all bar two runners having been put out of the race by the second flight and the survivors dawdling until the last; seems likely he'll need to race less green in what should prove more of a race, though.

Four of his six rivals were wiped out at the second flight so was left with just one to beat at Wetherby (2m, good), though the second was at least the Skelton-trained favourite; hard to know what to make of that form and Brian Hughes rides the yard's other one.

Went the wrong way in a trio of 2m juvenile hurdles for Dan Skelton in 2024; off 15 months before being pulled up for his new yard in 2m4f Huntingdon handicap 17 days ago; hard to warm to.

Fifth foal; by Workforce; dam unraced half-sister to winners Felix Yonger (bumper/high-class 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase) and My Valley (bumper, 1m4f-2m Flat and 2m hurdle); plenty to like on paper and interesting to see how he figures in the market.

0-8 over hurdles but recent handicap form (2m1f-2m4f) has been very respectable and he seems versatile ground-wise; considered each-way.
