Form & Verdict
Dual hurdle winner (2m-2m5f, good) but yet to win in handicap company and was out of sorts in a light campaign last season; shaped as though the run may have been needed on last month's reappearance but remains with something to prove on recent evidence despite a further ease in the weights.

Two hurdle wins in 2025, at about 3m on good and soft, and his recent second here was a return to form; has lower chase mark but hard to assess back over fences, having weakened on chase debut then unseated rider three out at Ludlow (still led sole remaining rival) that month; shade to prove.
