Placed in a couple of handicaps this autumn, including when second at Huntingdon (2m3f, good to soft) last Sunday; should run his race again but he's now 0-11 under both codes and hasn't really progressed over hurdles.

Still seeking first Flat win but is favourably treated on 2024 spring form which included third-place finishes off 6lb higher on AW; returns from three-month break and gets another change of headgear. |

Bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when not beaten far over hurdles last time; stable form alone entitles him to some respect, switched from the usual cheekpieces to a first-time visor. |

Half-brother to fairly useful chaser Cuban Pete; showed promise when runner-up in Market Rasen bumper (good) in May but he faded into sixth of 11 on his hurdling debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, soft) last month; was weak in the market and he may have needed that run but others are more persuasive.

Best run when second in a maiden hurdle at Fakenham in November (2m4f, good to soft); hasn't run as well since, although excuses for below-par run on handicap debut last time (3m, soft); tongue-tie now tried; bit to prove. |

Runner-up in the last two of his three bumpers but he's been disappointing switched to hurdling in his last two runs; has some questions to answer and he needs improvement on this step up in trip.

Yet to match his bumper form over hurdles but ran well for a long way when third (albeit well held in the end) in Fakenham maiden (2m4f, good to soft) last month; drops back in trip for today's handicap debut; a possible if suited by the slower ground. |

Market springer into 17-2 for a Sedgefield bumper (2m1f, soft) last month but he weakened into a well-held fourth of six; related to hurdle and chase winners but he needs to do much better now switched to jumping over this longer trip; tongue-tie added.

His best form from three runs in bumpers was a third in Listed race at Newbury on second start; no match for an emphatic winner on his hurdling debut at Stratford (2m, good) last Sunday but that was a promising effort after six months off and he should benefit from that run; respected upped in trip.

7th Nov 2024 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Southwell winner in June (2m, good) but was no match for Parikarma next time and again wasn't at his best when a beaten favourite at Perth; cheekpieces are replaced by a hood that hasn't done wonders for him previously; stamina to prove over this far. |

18th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has made progress since the cheekpieces went on this spring/summer, winning at Southwell (2m, good) in June and although a beaten favourite two weeks later when ridden by a capable 7lb claimer, that was still a sound effort; solid claims with Sean Bowen back in the saddle. |

25th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Just his second run in cheekpieces when a ready winner at Southwell (2m, good) two weeks ago; he's 7lb higher but it's worth recalling that he was placed in a Listed bumper. |

Three runs in bumpers and he won the first one before finishing runner-up to a subsequent winner at Doncaster in February (2m, good); disappointing in final run last season but he's out of a triple hurdle winner (2m-2m4f) and looks interesting on his switch to this sphere.

11st 6lb |
Second of 17 off 3lb higher on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in January; subsequent efforts have been disappointing, including with a tongue-tie added at Plumpton (2m, good) last month; however, with his pedigree suggesting this longer trip will suit, he's worth considering with cheekpieces added. |

12th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who was creditable second of 17 on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in January; subsequent defeat on heavy ground is not viewed harshly but his well-held seventh at Warwick (good) on Monday also needs to be forgiven. |

6th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Best form on good ground, including second in big field at Doncaster (2m; handicap debut) in January; well beaten on heavy going there since; may show progress, granted his ideal surface. |
