Form & Verdict

Third against useful rivals on first two hurdling starts and he ran another promising race when second of 14 at Exeter (2m, good to soft) last month; looked a bit tricky last time but that form puts him firmly in the picture and he would have finished closer but for a bad mistake two out.

Form & Verdict

Close third at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in the first of his two bumper runs last spring; tailed off on hurdling debut in November but he left that form well behind when a front-running fourth at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) the following month; was beaten around 15l but that was a promising effort in a big field and he's a player if he can find more improvement.

Form & Verdict

Runner-up in a Market Rasen bumper in July 2024 but he's had only two runs since and was pulled up on his hurdling debut last spring; has plenty to prove after 13 months off and he's already with his third different trainer; hood added.
