Form & Verdict
Hasn't taken to hurdling so most of his recent efforts can be forgiven; he drops into 0-50 classfied company for the first time but a record of 0-18 still suggests that others are more likely.

J: Charlie Todd

Four modest runs over hurdles and endured a heavy defeat in handicap company; however, returns to this scene on the back of two competitive runs in 1m4f classified races on the AW, so at least he's in good nick.

Dual-purpose performer who got off the mark at the 19th attempt when landing classified event at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago; got an easy lead but he justified support in good style and they were strung out behind him; key player.

Made the most of the drop in class when winning a similar race by a short head here (9.5f) 15 days ago; still has stamina to prove despite being a winning hurdler, but still more appealing than many.

Three wins from four Flat starts in 2026 include a C&D success last week (had Sophiesticate two necks back in third); likely has more to offer at this kind of trip and could easily shrug off a 4lb penalty; yard took this last year.
