Pulled up on chase debut 11 days ago but had previously won a Cartmel handicap (2m1f) for a third successive season; clearly likes it there but was runner-up on only previous visit to Perth; on a high mark but should have every chance.

Gained a fifth win over hurdles at Cartmel last June but has lost his way since; heavy defeats the last twice at Naas and Aintree; is at least back down to last winning mark, but needs a revival.

Irish challenger who has done his winning at about 2m, mostly at Cartmel where he remains unbeaten; far from consistent and can be opposed in this highly competitive scenario back up in distance.

Form & Verdict
Raced up with a strong pace when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) so that's worth upgrading; up 6lb with Lewis Saunders again taking off 7lb; respected.

Close second at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in November and bounced back from Ascot blip when third at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) recently, albeit soundly beaten by the first two; the step back up in trip might help and he's a possible player if conditions suit; unproven on soft ground.

Useful Flat performer (second in the 2024 Northumberland Plate); not as good over hurdles so far, winning over 2m at Ayr on debut in November (good; first run after wind surgery) and last time finishing runner-up at Kelso (2m, good); quite interesting on h'cap debut.

Form & Verdict
Ordinary Flat winner in Ireland and was 0-21 there over jumps (including 12 defeats over fences); came good on yard debut in a maiden at Worcester (in none of the aids he sported for former connections) and could build on that; 3lb wrong at the weights.

1-35 under all codes when based in Ireland, the win gained on the Flat in 2022; placed in a low-grade handicap chase this spring and the pick of his 2023 hurdling form gives him a good chance on these terms; interesting to see what Olly Murphy can do with him.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten on the Flat 25 days ago but had previously won fairly decisively over C&D (good); these terms ask more of him, for all that his rider's claim erases what he is out of the weights.
