3-5 as a novice hurdler last term, the two defeats at Grade 1 level; won the EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) in March and reappeared with a tidy win back in a handicap at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft; from Santos Blue) four weeks ago; raised another 6lb and an extra half mile but asserted late on for both those wins and this trip could help with further progress.

Something was possibly amiss in the Challow; 5-5 otherwise (bumpers/hurdles), rallying gamely to win the EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) most recently; open to further improvement and can't be ruled out.

Unbeaten in three starts under Ben Sutton since the tongue-tie returned, winning 2m3f-2m5f handicaps on good to soft; has a further 6lb rise to deal with but it was clearcut last time at Kelso and he gives the impression that he'll stay this far.

Won two novice hurdles last season (2m3f/2m) and was given a positive ride when ultimately third behind a well-handicapped winner on his return at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft); perhaps flattered to some extent there but off the same mark he's hard to rule out.

Placed in this race for the last two years (unlucky in 2021) and now has a strong chance of winning it, having escaped a penalty for last Saturday's success in the Scottish National (4m, good; followed up his Eider win); future mark 6lb higher; this may come too soon after his Ayr exertions and peak efforts have been on good or good to soft; otherwise strongly respected.
