Lightly raced since winning 2m juvenile hurdle here in summer 2024; kept on for very respectable third of five over C&D (good) 11 days ago, and remains unexposed over this trip, but today's race is more competitive; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor.

Scored on his hurdles debut in July 2024; returned to the track from a lengthy absence in February and produced his best performance to date when beaten 3l stepped up in trip at Taunton (3m, good) in April; drops down in grade here and may have to offer.

Runner-up on handicap debut over C&D (good) last July but he's struggled since, including when pulled up on chase debut at Wetherby in March; overall record is now 0-9 and he has plenty to prove after a short break; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

Eight-race maiden whose hurdles form has dipped since a consistent spell; however, this combination of a switch to fences and first-time headgear may have a positive effect; bred to make a chaser.

Regressed over hurdles since well held in two Flat starts last August; ran poorly in one previous try in a visor (usually wears cheekpieces), so positives are thin on the ground.
