Won a handicap hurdle on heavy ground in July but his following third was remote and he's since pulled up over fences and hurdles; has become very difficult to predict. |

Ended last season in good form, backing up his hard-fought Carlisle win (3m1f, good to soft) with a second at Perth (3m2f, good to soft); also suited by this track but 170-day break may have checked his momentum. |

11st 10lb |
Both hurdle wins at Kelso, over 2m6f (good) and 2m (good to soft) but his C&D second on New Year's Day was right up there with his best efforts, pulling clear with subsequent Pertemps close seventh; 5lb higher today but is more likely than not to go well. |

Won twice last year and a clear runner-up over C&D (soft) on New Year's Day, behind one who has followed up; again second at Kelso (2m6f, good) on Friday and he's a contender if this doesn't come too soon. |

Yet win over hurdles, but placed on a couple of occasions at 2m3f/2m4f, notably when runner-up in a Hexham handicap in October (soft); didn't seem to stay 3m2f last time, so stamina doubt |

Cartmel winner in July (2m6f, good to soft); fair effort over same C&D next time but well below his best on testing ground at Hexham on latest outing; needs to bounce back.

Led close home to end losing run at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft) in July and still appeared to be travelling well before penultimate-flight fall at Kelso (3m2f, good) last month but is no longer the force of old and today's ground will probably be slower than he prefers. |

23rd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won two hurdle handicaps (3m1f/3m) on soft ground early in 2022 but he's been disappointing since and was only eighth of nine at Kelso on his recent return; now 5lb lower than for last win but he has quite a lot to prove on his chase debut. |

14th Dec 2021 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Scored off today's mark at Newcastle (2m7f, soft) in January 2020 and is still lightly raced but this is his first start for 642 days and he's entitled to benefit from the outing; sports first-time cheekpieces. |
20/1 |
