Form & Verdict
Two hurdle wins (good and good to firm) for David Pipe but unraced on the Flat since 2021, when winning two on the AW (1m6f) for previous trainer and had a near-miss on turf as well (off 1lb lower); intriguing contender for up-and-coming yard; regular tongue-tie discarded.

Dual hurdle winner; two decent placed efforts over fences before finishing down the field in the Summer Handicap Hurdle at Market Rasen last month when tried in a visor (reported to have run flat); usual cheekpieces back on and likely to play a part if back on song reverting to fences.

Raced mostly at 1m2f on Newcastle AW in 2024, winning in November; has also run some good races in defeat over 1m4f at Thirsk but this test will ask more of him and others look more likely today.

Form & Verdict
Looked to have middle-distance potential when drawing clear over 1m3f at Carlisle (good to soft; off 2lb higher) in 2023; only lightly raced since, with some fits and starts, but he shaped nicely over an inadequate 1m2f at Doncaster last month and has become of more interest again.

First Flat win at Beverley (1m2f, good to soft) last June; three heartbreakingly narrow defeats followed and, fit from hurdling, he's not weighted out of this if refitted cheekpieces (last worn in 2022) are helpful.

Three wins since last June, over 1m3f (good to firm) and 1m2f (good to soft) on turf and AW, but his recent efforts need improving on and he was hurdling only on Friday.

Form & Verdict
Successfully upped to about 1m1f on third handicap start, on AW in February, and he made a good fist of his turf debut when fifth, just behind Freddy Robinson, at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) since; has some staying influences in pedigree and looks capable of improvement.

All races on the AW, looking ready for a longer trip when keeping on over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton last month and seeing out the extra furlong well to win on that course since; the lack of turf experience isn't ideal but he's well connected and unexposed.

Won on very soft ground in France; four British wins on this track, most recently over 1m4f and 1m2f (good to firm and good) in 2024; just 1lb higher than for the latter success but his reappearance record could be better.
