A three-time 2m chase winner last season but he's offered precious little this term, tried in blinkers when pulled up on his last two runs at Ludlow and Exeter either side of Christmas; his mark is plummeting but it's still easy to look elsewhere.

3-8 over fences, the latest win gained gamely from the front at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in March; ended last season with two lesser efforts, though, and current mark probably demands a career best.

Can make mistakes but he got off the mark over fences at the seventh attempt over C&D (good to soft) in December and followed up at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; on the up and has to be respected.

Weakened to be beaten 22l last time at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and all his three wins have been at about 2m; wouldn't be the obvious answer no matter how well the new headgear works.

Won for the third time over fences at Worcester in October (2m, good; by 18l); has a chance on that run but best form has been at shorter (jumped poorly when well beaten on last completed run at 2m4f); acts on good to soft but he's not a real mudlark.

Form & Verdict
Two hurdle wins at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft/good) during last season's novice campaign; in top hands but he's struggled on both hurdle starts this term and a major turnaround is needed on his chase debut.

Highly progressive over fences in the first half of last season, winning here four times (2m, good to soft/good); 2m5f here appeared to stretch him last month following some time off; has a lower mark to work with back over hurdles and he could play a leading role back down in trip.

Highly progressive over fences last summer, winning five handicaps (four here) at around 2m on ground no worse than good to soft, though he ended the campaign pulled up at Cheltenham; has since had a second wind op and could find more at this longer trip (2m3f hurdle winner), which will be needed off this mark following a break.

In excellent form over fences since undergoing a second breathing operation, scoring at Wincanton (2m4f) in February before a clear second of seven over that C&D last month; up 2lb but that form is working out well so he's a big player.

Went close here (about 2m, good to soft) in December 2024 but he's 0-9 over fences and his two runs this term have been troubling; has his first start following wind surgery, with a tongue-tie joining the cheekpieces of latest start; needs a revival.

2m1f chase winner at Stratford a year ago but has largely struggled to reproduce that level, including after wind surgery; continues to ease in the weights and cheekpieces are enlisted, but others arrive with much more persuasive credentials.
