Readily won over C&D in June on his second start for the stable and, switched to fences, ran well when runner-up off the same mark just eight days later; 7lb higher now but it remains early days for this stable and in handicaps and he could have more to offer.

Ex David Brace; travelled strongly, winning readily on second start for this trainer over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good; 5-6 favourite) eight days ago; is due a 9lb rise, but switches to fences for the first time (half-brother to the 2m chase winner Thatza Dazzler) from an unchanged mark; obvious chance.

Took big step back in right direction and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when fifth at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in March, but was generally very disappointing last season; others have more appealing profiles.

Suited by good ground; proved resurgent when last seen five months ago, enhancing a strong C&D record that also features wins (off 2lb lower) in this race in 2023 and 2025 (faller in 2024); very solid claims kept to this scenario.

Hurdle win in May (2m, good); poor form on the Flat since August, failing to progress for handicaps on last two starts; should benefit from the step up in trip and he has run well on soft going over hurdles; risky but there are grounds for expecting better dropped in class.
