Useful Flat form and he's 1-5 over hurdles; excellent second to the talented Wreckless Eric in a Cheltenham handicap in November (2m, good; fine on soft) and it was a deep handicap in which he struggled back there last time; in the mix. |

Having a productive season and took his record over 2m at Fakenham to 3-3 when scoring bravely five weeks ago; handles good and soft ground; up another 3lb but cannot be dismissed. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Last year was a good one on the Flat, winning four times at up to 1m5f; contested two Graded races after winning his juvenile hurdle and was all the rage for his handicap debut at Musselburgh (first run over 2m4f) only to finish a well-held third; drops back in trip here with cheekpieces added and needs a close look. |

Fairly useful Flat racer who looked quite promising when winning against own age-group on stable/hurdle debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in October; safely held in two subsequent Grade 2 juvenile hurdles but has sights lowered on handicap debut and is open to improvement over the new trip. |

0-5; runner-up on first two starts after a long absence, latterly on handicap debut here (2m, soft) and that form reads well; 11-8 favourite when only fourth of ten at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago but half the hurdles were omitted and he did not get run of the race from off the pace; new trip makes some appeal and he's not discounted. |

Pretty consistent over fences and hurdles on good/good to soft ground this season and has slipped to a good mark; campaigned mainly at around 2m but has won over an extended 2m3f; probably won't be far away. |

Seemed in good form over fences before the turn of the year and reportedly suffered an overreach on his return to hurdling at Musselburgh; on a competitive mark. |

Fair efforts in the autumn across first three chase starts, finishing second last time (2m, good) despite not jumping well; on a handy mark on last season's best hurdle form; could be a contender now back in this sphere. |

Short-headed in Uttoxeter novice (2m, good) in November then won Southwell maiden (2m, good to soft); a first-time tongue-tie may help on this second handicap start but he was only seventh of ten at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) recently and needs to raise his game. |

Point/bumper winner who landed a Hexham novice (2m, good) in October but has a mixed record since and was only eighth of ten on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; edging down the weights and is still unexposed in this sphere but others are more convincing. |

Beat a well-backed Skelton handicap debutant with a subsequent winner in third when off the mark in a Uttoxeter maiden (2m, soft) but he finished a weary last at Sandown in a handicap for military amateur riders; perhaps best to turn a blind eye to that and he can be given another chance. |
