Following wind surgery he returned to form to win in a small field at Kelso (2m5f, good) recently, and he's fine on slow ground and at this trip; however, from out of the handicap he's 10lb higher today and his profile suggests he'll be vulnerable back up in grade.

Pulled up in the Morebattle Hurdle here in February but he's had wind surgery since and this is a significant drop in grade; he's dropped down the weights and could bounce back with a big run for his in-form yard.

Won C&D maiden hurdle and substandard Haydock Grade 2 in winter 2024-25; mixed form since but he was a good second on his chase debut at Ayr last month; first-fence unseat next time (hampered); he's dropped down the weights over hurdles and is not ruled out each-way in first-time cheekpieces.

Fairly useful over hurdles, albeit registered his Grade 2 success in a substandard race for the level; ran promisingly at Ayr (2m) switched to chasing last time and looks open to progress in this sphere; return to 2m4f is worth a go; respected.

Dual hurdle winner last season, latterly in Grade 2 novice at Haydock (1m7f, soft); yet to make any further progress in handicaps this term but has contested some good races; interesting to see how he fares on this chasing debut.
