Won French bumper on very soft; fell early on his British debut but runner-up since in a novice at Chepstow (good to soft) and handicap at Plumpton (heavy); 5yo who probably has potential, so he's in the mix.

23rd Nov 2024 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Runner-up three times in a row over hurdles last winter (2m7f/3m1f, soft/heavy) and off his lower chase mark he kept on for a close second in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on last month's reappearance at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft); could build on that latest run now back up in trip; chance. |

29th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Placed over fences in 2022-23 season and has developed into a useful hurdler in the meantime; absent since disappointing run in March and may be better suited by 3m but reverts to chasing on a lower mark and with first-time cheekpieces fitted. |

16th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Ended last season with three hurdle wins; even better again in defeat this campaign with three near misses and off a tough mark it makes sense to claim 5lb through Angus Cheleda; solid claims with no trip/ground issues. |

Just six starts; placed over 2m at Taunton (good) and Fakenham (good to soft) in two of his three handicaps and appeared to be stretched by 2m3f on soft ground when not so good here in between; big each-way claims.

Placed in the mud in two of his three bumpers; raced freely and soundly beaten on all three of his novice hurdles, but he'd be extremely well treated if reverting to that bumper form on today's handicap debut.

11st 5lb |
Headed to Ascot (3m, good) four weeks ago with a record of 4-5 over fences and that day he beat all bar a formidable rival in Chianti Classico; 1lb nudge could have been worse but some cause for concern is that five of his six career wins have been on right-handed tracks. |

2nd Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |

Will need his best form yet off this career-high mark but he's 4-5 over fences, goes particularly well on right-handed tracks and his record fresh is a further positive; might still be on fair terms with the handicapper given potential for further improvement. |

Won bumper here (good) last April; similar form over hurdles this season, most recently when fourth in his two handicap hurdles (2m and 2m2f); probably stays 2m4f and has place chance but some improvement appears to be needed for a win in field of this size. |

Dual hurdle winner, latterly at Plumpton (3m1f heavy) in February 2020 and he is 4lb lower today; out of form since, with 556 days off before pulled up at Wincanton (40-1) 18 days ago; best watched for now.

There's been a whiff of ability, including in one of his two runs for Sam Thomas; 200-1 for his two outings for new stable this winter and latest was not as grim as the result suggests, so he needs a second look off such a lowly opening mark.
