Hadn't been seeing out 3m too well in British points earlier in 2025, but outpaced on both hurdling starts in the summer (beaten 17l over C&D latest) and staying handicaps appeal as the way to go now.

Only had to reproduce previous hurdles form to get off the mark in a pretty thin Southwell novice this month (2m4f, good), making all on his first outing since wind surgery; initial mark demands further improvement, but confidence will be high.

Form & Verdict
Multiple 1m4f-2m winner on the Flat, albeit all in the handicap company which will likely also serve him better over hurdles judged on two underwhelming maiden efforts thus far; would appeal more granted cut.

Multiple Flat winner who was contesting only his second handicap over hurdles when winning with the front two clear over C&D (good) three weeks ago; a 6lb rise isn't the end of the world by any means.

Showed fair form on his third hurdles start when runner-up at Stratford in October; below that form when fifth of seven at Exeter (2m7f, good to firm) on his handicap debut later that month; still early days and may show more here.

Multiple 1m4f-2m winner on the Flat; effective in blinkers in that sphere and these aids now return for handicap debut over hurdles after racing lazily when second in a Stratford novice (2m4f); considered.

Form & Verdict
Not the equal of Cinnodin on the Flat at their respective bests, though similarly most effective at middle to staying distances and twice on the mark this year (2m); can leave a poor hurdling debut last winter behind if jumping better, and is a half-brother to one C&D hurdles scorer.

Last three wins, including two for Ryan Kavanagh last spring, have come over further; back in form when arguably an unlucky loser at Wolverhampton on Tuesday (extended 2m) and his claims are obvious off the same mark.

Generally disappointing since winning twice (once over C&D) last May but encountered traffic when fifth (behind Belle Of KT) over 1m6f here a fortnight ago and continues to lurk on a good mark; can't be ruled out.
