British raider from yard that had a Grade 1 winner here earlier this week; won first four starts over hurdles on varying ground; fine run when 2l behind Maestro Conti in Cheltenham Grade 2 in January (2m1f, soft); beaten 13l when runner up in another Grade 2 at Kempton; beaten 26l in the Triumph on latest; much more needed.

Often front-runner; won his first four hurdle races and placed in three better contests since; gave 2lb when 2l second to Maestro Conti in Grade 2 over C&D on penultimate outing, but the winner left the more positive impression; useful but his limitations are likely to be evident again.

Drew clear to win claiming hurdle by 7l at Fontainebleau (1m7f, very soft) on debut in April; now in the care of David Pipe and his proven hurdling ability is a big selling point on this British debut.

Won over 2m4f here in May and over C&D four weeks ago, both on good ground and they were the only two races in which he's been ridden by Sean Bowen; raised another 7lb after doing it well last time but this 4yo remains lightly raced over this sort of trip, which seemed to suit him so well that day.

French claiming hurdle winner on debut in April 2024 and opened his British account under a typically strong Sean Bowen ride over 2m4f here in May; pulled up next time but quickly back on track when runner-up here (2m4f) 12 days ago; Sean Bowen returns and he's a leading contender if seeing out this longer trip.

Didn't live up to market expectations in two attempts in juvenile hurdles (beaten 44l and 17l); recent Flat efforts, failing to beat a rival the last twice, are hardly encouraging either; potentially capable from this mark (handicap debut) but risky nevertheless.

18l behind Mr Moonshine when tenth of ten at Chester latest (1m4f); slight ease still leaves him 4lb above his highest winning mark, and cheekpieces will likely need to inspire a career best.
