Dual hurdle winner who is 0-11 over fences but he has the form to feature off this mark if ready to rock on his stable debut after a long absence; the market should be informative.

Five wins include two over fences, the latest at Huntingdon in October (2m4f, good) when 2lb higher; not so good in his five subsequent defeats and record when fresh is modest.

Won this in 2025 (good to soft) and was also on target at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in October; back on a good mark now and should be fine on today's forecast soft ground but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon.

Two wins last season, the second off 3lb lower over C&D in October (good); hasn't been in quite such good form in 2026, but has had a break and can't be rule out.

J: Robert Dunne

T: Charles & Adam Pogson

1-10 for current stable over the last year, the win gained off today's mark at Southwell (3m, good to soft) in November; needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort over that C&D last month but ran quite well in a valuable series final two starts ago and is of interest here.

J: Sean Bowen

Gained a breakthrough win over fences at Market Rasen (3m) in September and posted a good second in handicap chase at Leicester (2m7f) when last seen out in December; proved reliable over hurdles so rates a player back in this sphere off a reduced mark.

10st 13lb

J: Jack Andrews

T: T Ellis

Low-mileage 7yo who tends to race too freely but displayed considerable improvement when upped to 3m and switched to fences at Bangor (good) in April, winning by 5l; beaten about 21l when second over C&D last month but gave the all-the-way winner far too much rope that day, and his margin of defeat was magnified by late jumping errors; remains of strong interest.

Poor five-race maiden over hurdles but this winning pointer was a different proposition when winning by 5l on chase debut at Bangor (3m, good; second run in this headgear combination); could cope with the 10lb rise.
