Well beaten on all four starts this year, the latest over 2m7f at Uttoxeter last month (race he won in 2025); dips into a much less competitive event here, though, and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye.

Won this race off this mark in 2025 (good; 2-1 favourite) having run poorly on his previous start; was rather disappointing later on last season and has a bit to prove at present.

Second in the C&D Grade 1 novice at this meeting last year; went on to finish first and second in handicaps over the extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter at the start of the summer but well below par both starts since a break, latterly at the Cheltenham Festival; combination of first-time cheekpieces and a return to this C&D needs to spark a revival.

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Gary Hanmer

Ran well over about 3m on most starts last March-June, including 50-1 second in substandard Grade 1 novice at Aintree; took an age to warm up in that race, however, which makes this trip look against him, and no impact on last three outings; latest (11 days ago) was after four months off.

Ran well over this sort of trip on most starts last March-June; not so good in October on latest outing and needs to resume improvement.
