Form & Verdict

Beaten under 1l when last of four finishers in tactical Hexham bumper in the autumn but it's hard to weigh up what that form is worth and he was well beaten on both hurdling starts this year.

Form & Verdict

Showed some useful Flat form in 2024 but his attempt at hurdling that year resulted in a 42l defeat, and he returned from a layoff with two down-the-field Flat runs in December/January; others have much less to prove.

Form & Verdict

Only beaten about 2l when third of seven at Carlisle (2m1f, good) in October and has a good each-way shout if judged on that form but his 2m4f run the following month was a bit disappointing and he was pulled up (showed signs of post-race heat stress) when dropped back to 2m1f last time.
