Inconsistent chaser who's saved his best for Cheltenham in 2025 and 2026, including a win (his only handicap success) in January 2025 and third at the Festival this March; both were over an extended 2m4f and he's shown his form only once from seven attempts under rules over 3m+; not the percentage call.

9lb higher when beaten 3.5l by Riskintheground 12 months ago; 0-10 in the meantime but the new visor worked well when a never-nearer third in the Plate at Cheltenham last month and clear claims if he can back that up.

Pulled up in the 2m4f novice handicap here last March but that was out of character as he had won over that C&D the time before and generally has a good track record; not much of a force this season, though, and he doesn't look in enough form to take advantage of a weights drop; often wears headgear, first-time visor today.

Career highlight when winning very valuable 2m5f Cheltenham handicap over a year ago; not at same level this season although some fair efforts at same venue, change of headgear having no effect at Musselburgh on latest; headgear now discarded.

He hasn't been at his very best this season but hasn't been disgraced in hot handicaps at Cheltenham on his last two starts, most recently last Saturday; perhaps the first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) will give him a lift and he's just 1lb above his last winning mark; not discounted.
