Won three races in 2024; inconsistent since but ran well when second at Kempton (2m5f, good) on Boxing Day; two poor runs since but has undergone wind surgery and a first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces; interesting if the market speaks favourably.

Soft ground provides an excuse for two defeats of late; sole attempt in cheekpieces resulted in good second at Kempton (2m5f) on penultimate start; could go well in the reapplied headgear.

Surprising to see the cheekpieces left off as they were on for the first time when pushing an improver close at Kempton (2m5f, good; all wins on good to soft); he was 12l clear of the third so a 4lb rise could have been worse; respected.

T: Ben Pauling

Three handicap wins last March-November before his good front-running second in this race; 2lb lower this time round, having run respectably in two of his four hurdle races since and had heavy/soft ground as an excuse in the other two; connections also now reach for cheekpieces, though, and others are a bit more persuasive currently.

Three handicap wins last year (2m-2m3f, good to soft) and runner-up off this mark over 2m5f at Kempton (good) last December; however, he needs to improve upon what he's shown on his three hurdle starts this year.
