Looked useful when winning a Wetherby bumper by 7l in March 2024; hurdles career off to a perfect start at Warwick (2m, good to soft) the following season, but absent for 18-plus months thereafter until reappearing at Ayr (4-1 favourite; tailed off) recently; now sits 2lb lower.

T: Olly Murphy

Point and dual bumper winner who was a shade of odds-on when leading late on in a big-field maiden at Warwick in November 2024 (good to soft; won on soft); has a long absence to overcome and a hefty weight for his handicap debut, but trainer has spoken well of him.

Fair Flat racer who was 3-6 during first season over hurdles, the last two wins gained from the front in handicaps (2m/2m1f); well beaten when upped in grade at Cheltenham in April and absent since but may still have more to offer.

On a hat-trick after justifying favouritism at Market Rasen and Ffos Las (both 2m); a combined rise of 16lb - 8lb for latest win - makes life more challenging as he moves into a Class 3 for the first time; however, he's improving and spearheads his yard's triple representation in this field.

Rewarded strong market support when winning readily at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) last month, on his second run after a layoff, and is now 2-8 over hurdles; 8lb higher here but still commands respect.

Has a patchy record but he made it 2-10 over hurdles when justifying support at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in November; 6lb higher on his return but that was a comfortable success and he looks worth a try at this new trip; not ruled out.
