Form & Verdict
Ran well from the front in the second of three Flat runs in France (1m6f) and there was plenty to like about his hurdle debut third at Taunton (2m, good to soft) in February against two much more experienced rivals (second has won since); likely improver.

Won good-ground maiden and novice hurdles last spring but he hasn't fired in handicaps, including in a tongue-tie on his last two starts and with added cheekpieces (now swapped for a visor) at Plumpton a fortnight ago; handicapper is trying to help but others look safer.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

Won good-ground maiden (C&D) and novice hurdles last spring but he ran poorly on handicap debut here in between and his form at this level since hasn't borne much fruit (first-time tongue-tie latest, blinkers now added); however, he may well do better on second run back from a break with Sam Twiston-Davies taking over.

French recruit who scored twice (at around 2m) for his current yard last spring; not discredited when fourth at Newton Abbot on his return in October but he came in last of seven in 2m Exeter handicap the following month; needs to take a big step forward in a first-time tongue tie.

Form & Verdict
Had fine spell for the Kublers on the Flat last summer, winning three on the trot at 1m2f (turf; RPR 94) and 1m3f (AW); was below that level for this yard in late 2024, but dam's successful offspring include a winning hurdler so there are hopes he can take to this game; betting helpful.

Four-time Flat winner and quite useful, so his second in a modest maiden hurdle at Plumpton was rather underwhelming (2m, good); could build on that but needs to.

Strike-rate of 3-28 on the Flat, over 1m2f on turf and 1m4f on AW (best RPR 82); interesting contender on hurdle debut for yard that's won three of the last five runnings; market can guide.

Has faced very tough tasks in both hurdle runs at about 2m5f, at Wincanton and Exeter, and his second on the latter track was a remote second of three to a 1-14 shot; handicaps likely to prove more his game.

Went up 12lb for winning so well at Ludlow in December (2m, good to soft; first run in a tongue-tie) but probably bettered that form when runner-up at Kempton (good), finishing just ahead of Diyaken; solid chance with Aamilah Aswat again aboard.
