Has returned to winning form this summer for new yard, winning at Newton Abbot and Stratford over around 2m3f with cheekpieces reinstated; never in the hunt following a slow start at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last time and probably remains in form; claims.

Asserted readily on run-in at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) on Tuesday and is now 2-3 for Nick Scholfield; effectively only 6lb higher under 7lb penalty here and won't mind the forecast rain; respected in current mood.

Better over fences; ran creditably (runner-up) in refitted cheekpieces at Stratford (12-1) on penultimate start, but didn't appear to see out the trip at Bangor (2m4f, good) subsequently; likely to find at least a couple better equipped.

J: Chad Bament

T: Anthony Honeyball

Largely consistent 7yo who made a successful return to fences over C&D three weeks ago under Chad Bament, with first-time blinkers seemingly having a positive effect; goes up in class off a 7lb higher mark but there could still be more to come if the headgear continues to work.

Last success came over hurdles in October 2024; 0-5 when tried over fences this time last year; regularly makes the frame and his followers will be hoping that first-time blinkers have a galvanising effect; the drop back in trip may not be in his favour though.

Formerly trained in Ireland, he made an instant impact when landing a maiden hurdle here (2m, good to firm) last July; ran three times on the Flat in the autumn without success; first run since when sixth of seven at Worcester (2m, good; 25-1) last month and looks to need to come down the weights.
