Has quickly made into a better chaser than hurdler, notching his second win over fences in handicap at Haydock (2m4f, soft; made all) in March; may have more in the tank but he faces a higher calibre of rival today if turning out again after his handicap win here yesterday.

J: Brian Hughes

T: Donald McCain

Comfortable win at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) in January on second chase start and, after a good second here (2m, good to soft), he made all at Haydock (2m4f, soft) last month; it was just a small field last time but he did it readily and this progressive 7yo could have more left in the tank.

Form & Verdict

French hurdle winner (2m, heavy) for whom there were mixed fortunes earlier this year on his first three British starts; however, this 4yo is in top hands and could post a big performance on this return from a break.

Form & Verdict

2lb wrong at the weights here and was down the field at Musselburgh (2m1f, good to soft) in March when last seen; however, he ran well in defeat in two handicaps prior to that, on the second occasion a warm 4yo contest at Sandown (2m, heavy); won here last December after a break; not ruled out.

Racing from out of the weights in an 0-140 was more the issue than the eight-month absence (has defied similar) at Wetherby latest (2m, heavy); player with easier grade, the ground and lower mark all positives.

Hasn't strictly built on his Wetherby success (British debut) in December; not disgraced in handicaps the last twice but looks vulnerable off the same mark in this deep field.

Form & Verdict

Pulled up in March on latest hurdle outing and tailed off on the Flat in September last time out; however, he's run some big races on the Flat this season and showed considerably promise over hurdles in the 2021-22 season; capable of going well.
