Ended last season in great form over hurdles, winning here (2m5f, good; handicap debut) then going close at Carlisle (2m3f, soft); had excuses when well-third on seasonal/chase debut at Plumpton (2m3f, good) in September (made bad jumping error then badly hampered soon afterwards); moves up in trip today and remains very much of interest.

Hurdle winner who has had only two starts over fences and he raised his form to a new level when second of 18 in a similar handicap at Warwick (3m1f, soft) two weeks ago; up 5lb but he pulled well clear of the third last time and is still unexposed as a stayer; key player. |

Head second to Twilight Glory over C&D (good) in February and is 7lb lower today, having failed to repeat the form; beaten a long way by the first three at Warwick (3m1f, soft) this month after six months off but he beat the other 14 runners, so that wasn't devoid of merit and his stable has had recent winners. |

Did just enough to pip Felton Bellevue over C&D (good) in February, earning his first win at seventh attempt under rules; out of form in his three runs since, on the heels of Felton Bellevue at Warwick on reappearance but both were way behind the principals; back to that C&D winning mark. |

Struck form with convincing chase wins (3m/3m2f) in February on good to soft and good; both starts since summer break have been on soft, with a creditable third at Sedgefield (3m3f) preceding a poor show at Warwick; although he won on heavy as a hurdler, perhaps a return to better ground would help. |

Beaten about 40l in three maiden/novice hurdles in 2021-22 season and makes chase/handicap debut after a 641-day absence; has a lot more to prove than some but it's worth remembering he was unlucky not to win an Irish point in 2020; sports first-time cheekpieces.
