10st 5lb

J: Nico de Boinville

T: Nicky Henderson

Solid start to his chase career has not been sustained; however, posted a somewhat resurgent effort in first-time blinkers at Sandown (3m, good to soft) most recently; receives weight all round and could go well in the retained headgear.

J: James Bowen

T: Nicky Henderson

Struggled on final two starts last season and same story on both runs this autumn; he has plenty to prove but is in top hands and has an attractive mark if the first-time headgear triggers a revival.

Comfortably held in similar event over C&D on reappearance but may do better with that outing under his belt; this second-season chaser is competitively weighted on the pick of his form.

J: Mr Daniel Williams

T: Nicky Henderson

Made bright start to chasing career in early 2024, winning at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) before clear second at Kempton (3m, good to soft), but dropped out of contention worryingly quickly on final two starts last season (had wind op in between) and needs to prove his wellbeing.
