Career-best form came here in December when scoring over 3m2f (good to soft); hasn't really approached that level since, in cheekpieces and blinkers (new) the last twice.

Posted career-best effort when scoring at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) in December but two laboured efforts have followed this year; wore refitted cheekpieces last time; first-time blinkers are given a whirl here.

3-15 over hurdles, latest win at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; below form on latest outing, though, and needs to bounce back with career-best effort here; cheekpieces (absent this term) are refitted.

Second run back from a long layoff when winning comfortably at Warwick (3m2f, good to soft; 6lb lower) and that was his first run beyond 3m; lightly raced for a 9yo and firmly enters the reckoning.

T: Olly Murphy

Won here (2m5f, soft) in November 2023 but he returned after 672 days off with a tailed-off effort at Newbury last month; now takes a big drop back in grade but he has something to prove after that comeback run and is untried at this trip.
