Form & Verdict

Had been out of form for a while and the first-time blinkers that perhaps triggered his revival at Wincanton (3m1f, good) look a notable absence here; remains to be seen if he can build on that improved effort.

Form & Verdict

Offered little over hurdles but looked a different proposition when coming clear on his chase/handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) in first-time cheekpieces; no headgear this time but has the scope and potential to deal with the extra 7lb.

Form & Verdict

Hasn't raced on good ground since winning at Lingfield in early 2023 when beating Felton Bellevue off 8lb lower; added two more chases on heavy ground last winter before his form petered out; current mark, 5lb above his last win, could be challenging and he lacks a run.
