Six-race maiden over hurdles but ran respectably in his handicaps and this dual point winner could well do better over fences; has been off since January but one to consider, especially if at all strong in the betting.

Went up 5lb for beating an exposed rival at Southwell (2m4f, soft; fine on good to soft) but he still ran well in a Class 3 at Newbury (2m6f) that didn't go entirely like clockwork; he could yet raise his bar higher; much respected.

An improving chaser who did well to overcome a late mistake and get up at Southwell (2m4f, soft; fine on good to soft); he is 5lb higher for beating an exposed rival that day and this represents a harder assignment; still commands considerable respect.

Fontwell maiden hurdle winner in May 2024 who's been competitive since handicapping over fences this term, bang there when coming down two out at Haydock (2m4f) in December before finishing runner-up in staying chases at Huntingdon and Warwick (all good to soft); drop back in trip probably no bother and he's a firm contender once more.

Form & Verdict
Back-to-back wins over similar trips to this last September and on good or yielding ground that he's not had in his last four races; however, current wellbeing is an issue and so too the blinkers in which he was tailed off last time when first fitted.
