Form & Verdict
Signs of progress when third in a 1m7f maiden at Wincanton (good) and was only 5-1 for chase/handicap debut back there 18 days ago when he stopped quickly and pulled up; could be given another chance on the promise of that penultimate effort.

Prolific between November 2024 and June 2025, with his four wins in that spell including two here; his progress seemed to stall subsequently but he ran well when second of five to a progressive winner at Chepstow (2m, good) last time and could be in the mix; effective on good to soft.

Taunton win this time last year was the first leg of an eventual hat-trick (2m1f-2m3f) all recorded on good or quicker surfaces, so drying forecast is all to the good; chance, assuming he's not goaded into making the same sorts of errors as on his recent return here.

Has won five of his last seven races and he might be high in the weights now having come up well short (beaten 13l) on final sighting at Newton Abbot in October (2m1f); on the plus side, he's back at Class 4 level and has won over this far; others are preferred.

Won back-to-back C&D handicaps in April last year (good to soft/soft) and he wasn't beaten too far on his chase debut in May; however, tailed off since then over fences and hurdles, leaving him with a bit to prove now.

Only blinkered this season and the aids are working well, registering a fourth hurdle win under a positive ride at Wincanton (2m, heavy); 5lb rise sees him on a career-high mark but he has to be considered; good to soft is fine.

Easily best known for exploits at Bath, where he's been runner-up three times this season; 0-10 here, admittedly twice runner-up and also third of 15 in May (1m2f) but he may have to settle for another place return.
