5 yo Gelding

OR: 97

Form & Verdict
Rise for April's big-field Taunton handicap hurdle win (2m, good) didn't look harsh, and he wouldn't be the first horse to find Fakenham's fences coming at him too quickly on last month's chase debut; can do better.

Form & Verdict
Didn't improve for the switch to handicap hurdles, sometimes finishing weakly even with a tongue-tie on (left off on this stable debut); mark never lower, however, and 2m chase winners in the family.

Safely held in first two handicaps but took step forward and ran well for a long way when fourth at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month; another 3lb lower here and enters calculations.

Form & Verdict
Season's best efforts of a soft-ground 2m5f hurdles win and a 2m4f chasing third (winner broke the track record) were both recorded here; outpaced on two most recent drops to today's sort of trip.

Form & Verdict
Couldn't hold on up the run-in on last month's Exeter chase debut (2m1f, good to soft), but still an effort to view most positively considering her three hurdles wins had all been gained around tracks as sharp as Southwell; more in her favour here despite a 1lb re-raise; player.

Three-time hurdle winner in 2023; well handicapped on those efforts but has been out of form this year; makes chase debut with the stable in fine fettle but she comes with risk.
