Form & Verdict

Came back in good form after a three-month break with two sound runs last month, better effort when third at Catterick in a race that has worked out well (2m3f, good); didn't fare as well dropped back to 2m last time (didn't jump as well); definite contender back up in trip.

Form & Verdict

Won a novice handicap chase at Catterick in December 2023 (2m, soft); hasn't won since, although several good placed efforts; first run over hurdles since March 2023 and first run at this trip under rules (won a 3m Irish point); bit to prove.

Form & Verdict

Quite useful form on the Flat at up to 1m6f; not as good over hurdles so far and needs to raise his game on handicap debut with a tongue-tie tried.
