Not bred for chasing but is 2-2 since switched to fences in May; might have been fortunate at Perth last month (2m, good; leader fell at final fence) and is 2lb wrong here but still features prominently in calculations.

Dual hurdle winner who ended last season with creditable third off today's mark in valuable series final at Haydock (1m7f, good); not bred for chasing but can make his presence felt if he jumps soundly; cheekpieces removed after one use.

0-18 but he's finished second over 2m/2m4f on varied ground in five of his chases and two of his hurdle starts; those placings were for Stuart Crawford and present easily the best form in this field, but he was pulled up in a chase in January 2024 on his only start for current yard.
