Won 3m handicap hurdle at Newbury last March on good to soft; dug deepest to get off the mark over fences at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) and ran well last week at Exeter, for all that only two got round (he was hampered by the faller).

Form & Verdict
Record of 3-13 over fences; 2-2 over C&D, namely good-ground wins this spring; below par at Fontwell in hat-trick attempt but has possibilities back here; admittedly yet to score above Class 5.

J: Harry Reed

T: Nick Scholfield

Logged a third chase win this year when keeping on well at Newton Abbot last month (3m2f, good); at least one race per month since November speaks to his resilience, but it's noticeable that he's been kept to sharp tracks since pulling up at Exeter eight months ago.

Suffered dip in form after pair of 3m1f Hereford wins towards end of last season but seemed to run well when third of four at Fontwell (3m2f, good; headgear switched) a fortnight ago and is now 2lb below his last winning mark; enters calculations.

Dual chase winner from 20 attempts over fences; returned to form when second to It's A Breeze here last week where he wasn't unlucky despite some late interference; should run well with a repeat, but can be inconsistent.

Dual chase winner who has been more miss than hit since scoring in May last year; recent hurdle run in a first-time visor (retained) offered little encouragement, but he returns to fences off a handy mark; needs to rediscover his spark.

Won two chases at Hereford (2m5f, good) in April and May 2025 but has been more miss than hit since, with both runs this year underwhelming; reverts to hurdles with a visor added off a fair mark but needs to turn things around.
