Not beaten far when last of four in Warwick hunter chase (3m, good) last month but managed only fifth of seven in a subsequent point; back in a handicap chase for stable debut; quite tricky to weigh up at the moment; seems best suited by good ground.

Sole success came over hurdles in June 2023; last of three finishers at Leicester (2m6f, heavy) in February and beaten three times in points since, including in a match; has his work cut out here.

Sole win came over hurdles in June 2023 off a basement mark; he's up against it on his second start back from an absence.

Remains 6lb above his sole hurdle win (2m4f, good) but he didn't run badly when tried in cheekpieces on second chase start when just over a 4l fifth here (2m5f) last month; each-way claims if responding well to the first-time blinkers back up in trip.

Had excuse when pulled up on chase debut at Worcester in July (irregular heartbeat) and was subsequently placed over hurdles there (2m4f, good); didn't fire on latest hurdling starts but sports first-time cheekpieces here and could still have untapped potential over fences.
