Form & Verdict
0-12 since winning on bumper debut in April 2022; however, he posted a couple of reasonably encouraging runs last month (2m4f/2m3f, good/good to soft; the second of them here) and could benefit from the drop back in trip; not discounted each-way.

3-4 over fences, the last two wins gained by wide margins in small fields at Doncaster (2m3f, good/good to soft); shooting up the weights but evidently in very good nick.

Disappointing at Taunton (2m, good to soft) last month but reportedly unsuited by that tight track; prior to that he won here (2m, good to soft) on his chase debut, and his last two hurdle wins came over 2m3f; has a strong record at this course and could play a leading role now back here.

Absent since a heavy defeat on the Flat in September 2023; however, prior to that this two-time Flat winner scored by 6l on his hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) and he's not ruled out on his comeback.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten back over hurdles at Lingfield three weeks ago but may have needed that first run since July; he's 5lb lower than when winning over fences at Southwell in June and his Flat ability also suggests his current mark is a good one; trainer's horses are running well; possibilities.

Form & Verdict
Bumper winner (2m1f, good to soft) who was runner-up on her hurdle debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft) in January; two lesser runs have followed but 2m5f stretched her last time (raced freely) and she can go well on her handicap debut if tapping back into last winter's promise.
