Four wins in 2025 and now only 2lb higher than for the last of those at Chepstow in December (2m7f, good to soft); however, he was a 33-1 chance last month at Uttoxeter and he ran like one.

J: Chad Bament

T: Jeremy Scott

Registered a hat-trick last February/March and scored over C&D this Christmas to enhance record under his now regular rider Chad Bament; the Lanzarote at Kempton proved too hot for him on latest start (he was running respectably when falling at the last) but he's an each-way contender.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten on last month's handicap debut at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) and clearly needs to improve here but, if judged on his first qualifying run, today's trip-and-ground combination may suit him better.

Both wins over hurdles have been over C&D, the latest in September off 6lb lower; will have benefited from his recent pipe-opener when fourth at Market Rasen (2m,good) and should run well.

Won on chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in October and he's backed that up with two solid efforts, including when runner-up over C&D (good) in December; hasn't run on testing ground for a while, but he still has potential as a chaser and is only 4lb higher than for his win; respected with tongue-tie added.
