Form & Verdict
Unexposed 6yo who kept on from the rear for encouraging fourth behind Genbu over C&D (good) on last month's stable/handicap debut; probably still has a bigger run in him and features prominently in calculations.

Winning hurdler off 5lb lower; odds-on when second in his first chase (handicap) but ran moderately on second attempt nine days ago and he's neglected by Sean Bowen.

7lb higher than for 9l win in a five-runner Uttoxeter handicap in June (2m, good), after which he was second on chase debut (long odds-on off same mark as for that win); stopped quickly and pulled up back over hurdles in July; bit to prove now but hard to rule out.

Form & Verdict
Won on the Flat for Hughie Morrison in 2024 but was soundly beaten at triple-digit odds in three novice hurdles for Sheila Lewis in 2024-25 season; makes stable/handicap hurdle debut after 462-day absence; could be considered only if lively in the betting.

Back from long absence with two respectable runs for new stable this season, latterly when staying-on fifth of 11 at Stratford (2m, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) last month; stayed at least 1m6f on the Flat and looks interesting over this new trip.

No match for comfortable winner when second of five on stable/handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good; reportedly made respiratory noise) in June but that was his first run for 462 days and he now has a tongue-tie fitted; improvement possible.

Successful for new yard at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in May and he ran well when close up there in July; however, a foray over fences didn't go well next time and he was out of contention when unseating back over hurdles last month; questioned for win purposes.

Back to winning ways in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in May and largely in good form since over hurdles; made mistakes when last of eight on his chasing debut at Market Rasen (2m1f) eight days ago and not discounted quickly returned to this sphere.

Record of 2-18 over hurdles and latest fourth at Uttoxeter wasn't too far off his best form; however, he's Flat bred so what he'll make of fences remains to be seen.

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.

Gained all three hurdle wins at Ludlow; kept on for second behind progressive rival there (2m, good) last month, after a break, but may not be ideally suited by this switch to a left-handed track.
