Three-time chase winner (at up to 3m) who was runner-up over hurdles at Southwell (2m4f, good) in March but he's inconsistent and made it 0-10 over hurdles when tailed off at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; needs to bounce back; non-runner when due to wear these blinkers for the first time 5:47 Southwell Monday.

Found plenty when off the mark over fences at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) in March; he ended the season in good form but no guarantees he'll resume at the same level, having no great record fresh.

Two chase wins from six starts last winter, including over C&D (soft), and quite likely he'll do better again this season; he wasn't himself on return at Stratford (2m6f, soft) but capable of major improvement on that.

Rather in and out, and followed a Ludlow win (3m, good to soft) in December with a listless fourth over the same C&D three weeks ago; needs first-time headgear to inject some sparkle.

Went up 5lb for winning a 3m handicap that fell apart at Ludlow (good to soft) in February and that was under a 3lb claimer; probably has no margin for error off this mark and that spells danger in this warm a race; that said, his Chepstow run after a break was encouraging.

Multiple winner who ran right up to his best when making all at Exeter (2m3f, good) in October; things didn't go so well at Chepstow next time though and nearly all his best form is on good or quicker ground.

Chasing did not go to plan but he's returned to hurdles on last two starts, runner-up over C&D (good to soft) on latest despite not always jumping fluently; off the same mark, he should make his presence felt.

Form & Verdict
Useful chase form in Ireland although his path hasn't been smooth since winning in May 2023; back in form for new yard, though, and after a C&D win (good) in October he would have won more easily at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) but for a mistake at the last; back up 5lb; solid.
