Seemingly aided by tongue-tie and/or cheekpieces in the autumn, most notably when making all to open account over hurdles here (2m1f, soft); has shaky record over fences (unplaced all four attempts), though.

Made all at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March and placed on last two starts, most recently runner-up at Kelso (2m1f, good) last week; the step back up in trip poses a question but he's a leading player if seeing it out.

Two wins at Sedgefield last season, the second a 2m1f handicap chase (good); went up 6lb for that and was put up another 7lb for finishing 4l third from 8lb out of the handicap at Ayr last month (2m, soft); could go well despite that rise.

Progressive in cheekpieces, winning at Sedgefield in November (2m1f, soft; hurdles) and March (2m, good; fences); should appreciate going back left-handed after being soundly beaten at Carlisle last time but he's 8lb out of the handicap today and the cheekpieces are left off.

Form & Verdict
Unexposed 5yo who was well beaten on debut in Ireland last May but, with a hood fitted, has made the frame in three maiden hurdles (1m7f-2m4f) for new stable this year; switched to fences for this handicap debut; interesting.

0-9 but ran up to his best at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) last month when runner-up for second time over fences; first-time tongue-tie and hood are now on and he just needs to find that little bit extra to gain his first win.

Below form on last two appearances and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he made a promising chase/handicap debut when clear second at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March and that form has been well advertised by the winner since; good claims if back at that level.

Chase winner in early 2024; generally disappointing since returning from long absence this year but ran well for a long way before weakening into fourth in C&D (good) contest won by De Deli Counter last month and has possibilities if first-time hood helps him to settle better in early stages today.

Gained all four wins here (two over C&D); about 13l behind Tanking Along over hurdles here (2m1f, soft) on latest outing but will be better suited by the quicker ground today, and reverts to chasing on a good mark.

Record of 5-18 over fences but all of those wins have come at Sedgefield (2m/2m4f); only 2lb higher than for his last win in April but he's not gone on from that and was a well-held fifth of seven over C&D (good; 16-1) last time; others preferred.
