Placed in two of his bumpers; tailed off on hurdle/seasonal debut in November but he had wind surgery soon afterwards and showed the benefit with a 10l win from the front at Doncaster (extended 2m3f, good to soft) five weeks ago, making all and moving clear with apparent ease; that's not the best form in this field but he made a very positive impression. |

18th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Irish maiden point winner who is 0-7 under rules; he has the form for a leading role today, however, having been a close second at Cheltenham (2m, good) on penultimate start; travelling strongly just behind the leaders when he fell two out in a C&D maiden (good to soft) on latest; major player. |

18th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Fourth and fifth here last season in two of his bumpers; sent novice hurdling for both starts this term and made the breakthrough with a dominant performance at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) 19 days ago, always close up and surging clear in the closing stages; he's therefore well worth a go at this trip and looks capable of better, which is needed. |

Held his own in some good-quality bumpers last season and has claims here if judged on those exploits but his hurdling debut at Exeter (2m, soft) this month was disappointing. |

11st 9lb |
Finished first or second in his maiden point, a bumper and three runs over hurdles; 2m2f is the furthest he's been and he was beaten at Fontwell that day (penultimate start) but he stuck to his task well and there's a good chance he will get this trip; improvement is needed in this field, though. |

Solid record (2122) thus far and his form has substance; has switched to hurdles since his bumper win, clear second at Fontwell (2m) last time in a race that's working out nicely; looks set to go one better. |

Bought for £55,000 after his Irish point win last March; made a low-key start over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m1f, heavy; 25-1) and over C&D (good; 100-1) in the autumn, in demanding company in the latter but it does not look like he will be winning again just yet. |

After his two Irish points and a 2m5f Plumpton maiden hurdle, it looks as if he will be a big outsider in this field. |
