Combination of handicaps, a wind operation and this headgear has made a different, delivering form figures of 132 in 2m5f-3m handicap hurdles before faring less well after 97 days off at Wetherby; hard to be confident on the back of that but no surprise should he run well now his attention is turned to fences.

Maiden prior to showing improvement with solid performances (132) since having wind surgery and wearing cheekpieces, most recently beaten only narrowly at Ascot (2m7f) three months ago; that form has been franked by the winner since; goes well fresh and holds strong claims returned to the scene of his October win.

Struggled last season on final three runs for the Newland/Insole yard; however, he won off 4lb higher at Bangor (2m4f, good) last April so has a handy mark to work with if a change of scenery has prompted a revival; new yard is enjoying a good month; remains in the same ownership.

Won off 1lb lower at Bangor (2m4f, good; also suited by soft) last Apri but has suffered three non-completions since then and was well beaten when he did get round; clearly capable of a big run but comes with a good few risks.

Both wins over fences came in March 2025; his season never took off last term and he arrives here on a career-low mark (11lb below last win); first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; needs to show more.

Dual 2m7f hurdle winner last year, latest success at Uttoxeter (soft) in November off 2lb lower; followed that with a solid effort in a Class 2 at Cheltenham; form has dipped since but recent return may have been needed and he's worth considering with that run behind him.

Thorough stayer, a dual winner over 2m7f last season, latterly on soft ground at Uttoxeter in November; dropped in class at Southwell on latest start but proved unsuited by the drop to 2m4f, and this trip is likely to find him out again.

Consistent sort who was successful in first two attempts in visor, in December, including over C&D (heavy); should have benefitted from his first run for four months when sixth of nine at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; visor returns to replace cheekpieces and won't be far away.
