J: Derek Fox

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

He's run with credit this season on two of his three starts since returning from a long absence, returning to form when third of seven at Kelso (2m6f, good to soft) in December; his novice hurdle wins came on heavy ground and he could have more to offer now back up in trip; on the shortlist.

Promising novice in 2023-24 season (two wins) and returned from long absence with encouraging handicap debut last month; pulled up major 3m handicap since but has sights lowered here and may still have potential.

J: Derek Fox

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

4-11 under rules, best effort when slamming four rivals in novice hurdle at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in March 2024; returning from long absence when fourth of seven to Nab Wood at Ayr (3m, soft) three weeks ago, fading; gets a 6lb pull with the winner and may still have untapped potential.

J: Derek Fox

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

4-10 under rules, posting a personal best when slamming four rivals in novice hurdle at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in March 2024; in much deeper when down the field in Grade 1 novice at Aintree the following month, and has not been seen since; retains potential and will probably stay 3m, so he's quite an interesting candidate despite a lengthy absence.

2-2 over 2m4f, the latest success at Newcastle (heavy) where he hammered inferior rivals; now goes up against mostly superior opponents on form hitherto but may improve further at this distance.
