Can take a strong hold; well treated on his smart novice runs and contested hot handicaps on occasions last season; runner-up in more realistic tasks at Stratford and Ludlow, the latest back in May; has won after a break and he's very much the class act.

17th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Won last season's Betfair Hurdle off just 1lb lower and fourth in the Champion Hurdle here next time; ran with promise on first two starts this season but has failed to shine the next twice, over fences on the first occasion and in the Betfair Hurdle most recently; needs to get back on track. |

11th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to chasing the last twice (unseated rider then well held); very useful hurdler who has bits of Grade 1 form and won this major handicap (narrowly on good to soft) last year; however, lumbered with a 5lb higher mark and top weight this time round. |

Has been operating a little below his best form but a 4lb drop sees him on his last winning mark, which was defied over C&D last October; one to consider under optimum conditions.

27th Nov 2021 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, most recently when digging deep to hold on at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) last month; back up in grade here but remains on a good mark and ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground. |
7/1 |

1st 2 |
30th Oct 2021 Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Handy sort who has been mainly consistent since making all at Plumpton (2m, good) a year ago; has fallen to a favourable mark, but is likely to face competition for the lead from Stainsby Girl and he probably wouldn't want too much rain. |
11/4 |

3rd 5 |
13th Oct 2021 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Prominent-racer, best with a test of speed at 2m, and he returned to form when second at Plumpton (good) last month; can compete off the same mark here and Peter Kavanagh's 10lb claim is a major bonus; big player. |

After back-to-back wins over hurdles he exploited a potentially generous Flat mark at Bath a month ago; 10lb higher than at Newton Abbot but did win by ten lengths and he's flying high at the minute.

11th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Yet to score for his current yard and he comes here on the back of a below-par fifth of eight in 2m handicap at Newton Abbot 20 days ago; cheekpieces go back on with more required. |

Not at his best over hurdles before finishing well held in a 1m5f handicap at Bath; looks up against it and overall strike-rate of 2-44 is worrying.

Four wins divided between Flat/hurdling; this year's Flat form perfectly respectable and this is easier than his only previous handicap task over hurdles, when down the field at Cheltenham last November; considered.

Second runner for yard; won twice over hurdles in UK in 2020; some solid runs in defeat for this yard last year; best watched on return. |

1st Oct 2023 Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

Won his maiden here in May and went close on the Flat afterwards; latest efforts in both disciplines not so positive but this mark looks manageable if getting back on track.
