Rallied well to assert in closing stages at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) last month and is now 2-7 over hurdles; 4lb rise demands more from him here but the new trip might open some doors.

Three good runs under Will Featherstone this season, most recently when clinging on gamely to collect a good prize at Cartmel (2m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in July; effectively 6lb higher here if his rider's reduced claim is considered and probably needs to pull out even more.

Ended 2023 on a low note when chasing a hat-trick but he remains pretty unexposed as a stayer and came back to near best when second behind an improving stablemate at Fontwell (3m2f, good) on this month's reappearance, with Will Featherstone's 10lb claim proving a good move; likely to be in the mix again off an unchanged mark.

Form & Verdict

Two good runs for new stable this month, the latter when second at Worcester (2m7f, good) a week ago; did not have that race run to suit his patient tactics and can be very dangerous if others set a stronger pace here.

Took well to chasing this year, winning three times, but was safely held when switched back to hurdling at Worcester a fortnight ago and will need to up his game here.

Pulled up over fences at Exeter three weeks ago and hasn't raced on the Flat since October 2021; there's no obvious reason why he'll prove threatening to those with more recent Flat form; safe to look elsewhere.

4-10 over hurdles; performed poorly on last two appearances and is not easy to predict after another break but he's with a top stable and his current mark is workable; goes beyond 2m7f for first time.
