Made it 2-3 for Joe Tizzard when scoring back from another break at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; 100-30) two weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a comfortable win from off the pace and this step back up in trip should be fine (first hurdle win was over 2m4f); big player.

J: Brendan Powell

T: Joe Tizzard

First run for Joe Tizzard when justifying market confidence at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in March last year and unlikely he gave his true running when well beaten after a 7lb rise at Taunton in November; could be given another chance, though lengthy breaks have become a feature in his profile.

Form & Verdict
Opened his account with an easy success at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last May; mixed results since but is seemingly a spring type and could go well off a workable mark on return from 66-day break.

Scored twice (around 2m4f) at Huntingdon and Southwell late in 2025 but off since a below-par seventh at Doncaster (2m3f) in January when also not looking the easiest of rides; needs to bounce back after a layoff.

Underwhelming when mid-division at Catterick last month; however, he was in fine form previously, winning twice in the autumn (2m3f/2m4f, good/soft) and finishing second of 14 at Exeter (2m2f, soft) in December; major player if leaving last time behind.

In-form hurdler who is 2-4 in headgear since October, wins over about this trip at Huntingdon and Southwell (visored) followed by a keeping-on second of 14 in first-time blinkers at Exeter (about 2m2f, soft) last month; 1lb nudge won't stop him being a leading contender.

Has not really kicked on from his front-running win at Hereford (2m5f, good) in the spring but his Newton Abbot third (3m2f, good) in July was a good effort and this return to a right-handed track will suit.
