Very smart 3m-winning chaser for Gordon Elliott in 2024/25; also scored over fences for current yard at Perth (3m) in April but beat just one when tried in cheekpieces in 2m4f handicap chase at Uttoxeter 18 days ago; reverts to hurdles off a 7lb lower mark but still has something to prove.

Classy customer in these colours for Gordon Elliott; only his fourth run for current yard when forcing a dead-heat at Perth (3m, good; 3lb lower) and he's versatile trip-wise; likely contender in new cheekpieces.

Smart novice over fences for Gordon Elliott; not quite as good these days but fair third at Newbury in November (2m4f, good to soft) on latest chase start; now 5lb lower and, following a decent run over hurdles last time, is worth considering.

Ran poorly in a Pertemps qualifier most recently (second start for new yard) but is interesting off current mark dropped in class, being so attractively treated on the pick of his form for Gordon Elliott.

Runner-up in the Champion Bumper in 2022 and won a 3m Grade 2 novice chase for Gordon Elliott in Febuary 2024; showed considerable spark in two tough 2m1f handicap chases last term, not disgraced on stable debut in November this season (had wind surgery since) and has a lower hurdles mark, so he could still be one to be interested in.
