Needs to improve on his third-place finishes (modest/remote) this term but would be interesting if the ground is good; won off current mark at Market Rasen (2m3f) the last time he raced on such going.

Won in the winter last term on his first two starts over fences; runner-up under Freddie Mitchell in three of his five races this term (2m-2m4f) and surely has a big shout in this small field.

Favourably treated with Martator on his beating of that rival in late 2023 and, when second to the Williams horse in this last year, he committed a good way from home; didn't really fire back in the spring but he's very able when fresh and worth a second look despite being 2lb wrong; Freddie Mitchell aboard for five of his last six races.

Form & Verdict
Made pretty much all to win back-to-back handicaps at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) and Southwell (2m4f, soft) this winter, the latter in a small field but by 35l (3lb higher today); pulled up, however, on both starts since and that has to be a worry despite this small field.

Signed off for the Pogson stable with victory in a two-runner claimer over C&D and then joined Max Young for £5,000; it was a good-quality handicap in which he struggled at Aintree and this is easier.

Form & Verdict
Second season under rules; three hurdle/chase wins at 2m; 3m point winner but failed to get home, albeit on soft going, in 2m5f novice handicap at Cheltenham two months ago when last seen; this race is a furlong and a bit shorter, much less demanding company and he could still have potential.

Firmly in the picture judged on his handicap win at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in November and he drops back in trip today having weakened over 2m4f at Kempton last month; not ruled out but he made mistakes last time and has unseated on two of his last four starts; needs to cut out the blunders.

One of two hurdle wins came on this track; two later chase wins, at Chepstow and Newbury, also came at about 2m (good to soft) but he has a good chance of staying this far and is a better jumper than suggested by two unseats from his last three starts; interesting.

Reserve; second-season chaser who won a shade cosily on reappearance at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in November and, although there was still a fair way to go, he was travelling nicely when unseating five out at Kempton (2m, good) in December; there is a firm suspicion he's an improved performer this season and he's one to consider.
