Doncaster novice hurdle winner on rules debut in December 2024 but well held in two runs since, albeit 322 days apart, most recently on handicap debut at Kempton (2m5f, good) on Boxing Day following wind surgery; that run may have been needed and he does appeal as the type to do better over fences, but he does come here with a bit to prove.

Yet to add to his four chase wins for Philip Kirby during 2023-24 season but has made the frame on all four starts for current stable since December, most recently when third of five at Newcastle (2m4f, good) nine days ago; tried in cheekpieces today; probably won't be far away.

Back to form a little out of the blue to take advantage of a reduced mark over C&D (good) under Gregor Walkinshaw three weeks ago; remains well treated on old form (won 2024 Edinburgh National off 11lb higher) but not sure to be in the same mood again based on his recent record.
