Started off for Jennie Candlish with four wins in February/March (two hurdles, two chases) and was not discredited when second over fences at Ludlow (2m, good) 12 days ago; might still be on the upgrade and needs to be taken very seriously.

Four wins over hurdles and fences in 2025 (about 2m2f; ground ranging from good to soft); not in the same form since returning from a layoff in January, including in a Stratford seller in March, but this is easier and she's a viable option.

Has more chasing experience than many of these and with a strike-rate of 4-15 things are going well; those wins have been from 2m to 2m4f so the are stamina questions to answer, for all that he has won a 3m point.

Kicked off 2026 with a hat-trick (2m1f/2m, soft/heavy) and he's gone close on his last two starts (2m/2m3f, heavy/soft); has shown promise on good ground in the past and he could be bang there once more.

Began this year with three slow-ground wins (2m-2m1f, one here) and lost out only by a head when second here (2m, heavy; front pair well clear) on latest outing; continues to climb up the weights but should be fine over today's longer trip and can make his presence felt again.

Won in France (2m2f, heavy) last March on his second start; flopped at 1-3 at Wetherby (2m3f, good) in November on stable debut but reportedly made a respiratory noise and has since had wind surgery; retains potential for top yard and could bounce back with a big run on handicap debut.
