Thriving since the cheekpieces went on, scoring at Southwell (1m4f) in February and bettering that form when beaten 1l by Son Of Man over C&D 24 days ago; enjoys a 2lb weights pull now so he's a likely player.

Running well this year, winning at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) in February and going down by a neck in two starts over this C&D either side; up another 1lb, but another big effort is expected.

Had a bit so spare when seeing off ten rivals in a 1m4f Southwell handicap last week; has a bit of class for this level and he's likely to make another bold bid.

Form & Verdict
Often slowly away, markedly so in C&D contest last time when doing well to get involved; has the ability to figure but comes with risk and is still seeking first win away from Chelmsford; 3lb out of weights.

Has often blown the start and he refused to jump away at all without the usual blinkers (back on here) last month; is capable off this mark but a lot will hinge on his mood and how he handles the stalls.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: David Simcock

Handles Tapeta but is best known for his Chelmsford work and has three poor efforts to his name here, including one at a short price; is long odds-on to blow the start too, so doesn't come without risk, going without headgear for the first time in ages.

Form & Verdict
Hurdles record for new stable features a win in October (below par last time); useful on Flat (AW/turf) for previous yard and has a fighting chance provided he's still capable of that form.

Third in his last three starts, but may not have achieved that much and remains without a win on the Flat since the end of 2023; others more compelling.

There was some restoration of his Flat fortunes when third of five at Southwell (1m6f, AW; stays 2m) on latest start but he's without a win on the Flat since the end of 2023; has another career-low mark but it's hard to know when he will take advantage.

Form & Verdict
Three-time AW scorer for previous stable; form for new yard features a strong-finishing effort over 2m on penultimate start; interesting in first-time visor, having gained one of his wins in first-time cheekpieces.

Three AW wins for previous stable; 0-8 for current yard and his form has declined rather sharply; however, he may produce a resurgent display back at this level, being 2-2 in Class 6.

Three AW wins (1m2f-2m) in 2023; lightly raced since and he's been well held back from another break in his two runs this winter; mark continues to fall but he needs a major revival back at this trip.
