Runner-up in a Listed Cheltenham bumper last November and wasn't far away in all but one of his five runs over hurdles (2m-2m4f); now tackles his first handicap on chase debut and he was placed in both his points; respected.

Runner-up in Listed Cheltenham bumper last November and ran to fair level when placed on two of first three hurdling starts (both times over 2m); shade disappointing over 2m4f on latest outing in April but still a major player here. |

Dual hurdle winner and off the mark at the seventh attempt over fences when beating five rivals from the front in a handicap at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; 4lb higher in a deeper race but he's the only one of these with chasing experience.

Reliable sort who was in good form without winning over fences this term until coming in last of four in 2m5f Stratford handicap 35 days ago; the sort to bounce back so he needs considering. |

Came clear in a Class 5 handicap hurdle at Stratford (2m, good) in August but this 5lb higher mark proved beyond him in a better race at Worcester; will need to be a superior chaser than hurdler to win this on his first attempt.

Flat bred but jumped fine bar one early blemish on this month's Hereford chasing debut, just finding the near-2m5f too far; drop in trip and from 0-120 both rate positives; yard had a winner here last week. |

Off the mark over hurdles at fifth attempt, keeping on strongly for clearcut success at Stratford (2m, good) last month; 5lb rise does not look excessive and he could easily have more improvement to come. |

Remained a maiden over hurdles but ran well in all three handicaps (2m3f-2m5f; tongue tied for the last two); had wind surgery ahead of chasing debut and likely to have better days ahead of him.

Has run well in both handicap attempts, most recently when close third at Kermpton last month (tongue-strap on for first time); may need a shade more to gain a first success but ought to be firmly involved. |

Won good-ground handicap hurdles Stratford (2m2f) and Ascot (2m3f) this time last year, the latest of those off 4lb lower; flopped in his hat-trick bid but goes chasing off a perfectly good mark and has a pointing background; handles good to soft.

Only 1-9 over hurdles but consistent and was up against it at the weights when second on his return to novice company the final time; winning pointer who should be every bit as effective over fences; respected.

Usually gives his running; won handicap at Southwell (2m4f, good) in November and performed to his best when close third of 12 at Exeter (2m5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; in the mix but vulnerable to an improver. |

Goes chasing with a bit to prove after last season rather fizzled out but this mark is very fair on flashes of his form as a hurdler and he's only a 6yo; cheekpieces sported for his last five starts are discarded.

24th Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Promising as a novice hurdler but last season ended with a whimper; switched to fences for his seasonal return 18 days ago but there was no sign of a revival, albeit on ground that may have been too lively for him; if he can bounce back to even last season's best he's well treated but the jury is out for now. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |

Promising novice last season and seemingly boosted by addition of cheekpieces when making frame in two handicaps in December (2m/2m4f) but hasn't fired on either start this year; now has a point to prove; tongue-tie added. |
12/1 |
