Form & Verdict
Logged a third chase win this year when keeping on well at Newton Abbot last month (3m2f, good); at least one race per month since November speaks to his resilience, but it's noticeable that he's been kept to sharp tracks since pulling up at Exeter eight months ago.

11st 10lb

J: Harry Reed

Made all for clearcut success at Worcester (2m7f,) last month and has now won four good-ground chases this year; should also be suited by this right-handed track but latest 6lb rise might leave him vulnerable.

Easy to disregard latest Stratford outing (rider lost irons early) but form of his previous second there has a shaky look to it; remains 7lb higher than for the second of two C&D wins last summer (good).

Won twice over C&D last summer but has been beaten off this mark three times this term and likely needs to come down the weights before he can be seriously considered.

Dual chase winner at Worcester (2m7f, good) last summer; gave good account when second over C&D (good to firm; first-time hood) last month, after a break, but the market principals in that race disappointed and the form is of questionable value; others look better handicapped.

Form & Verdict
Bumper winner here and elsewhere in 2024-25 (good); just gently progressive in defeat in novice/maiden hurdles since over a year out, but chaser-laden pedigree (family of Our Vic) offers hope that he'll prove somewhat better over fences, as well he must granted an ungenerous initial mark.

Stamina to spare at tonight's trip, and he's representing last year's race-winning trainer and rider combination; never especially consistent, however, and last month's Hexham disappointment as favourite took his chasing strike-rate to 2-16; unclear what to expect.

1lb above last winning mark (3m, Southwell); knocking on the door at Taunton (3m4f; third) on penultimate start, and might have had a role to play in the Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f) latest but for falling three out.

Back in good nick for his two runs last month, latterly when close third to Wicked Thoughts at Taunton (3m4f, good); still unexposed over marathon trips and still on a workable mark; could have a say.
