Heavy defeat in Listed novice hurdle at Huntingdon in February on final run for Tom Lacey and down the field here last month on chase and stable debut; however, he ran well for a long way last time and his top trainer is hopeful he'll "improve enormously" for the run; player if tapping back into the promise he showed in novice hurdles last season (Grade 2 runner-up).

Created good impression when winning Warwick novice hurdle (2m5f, soft) for Tom Lacey last November and was subsequently second in a Grade 2 over that C&D (heavy); not seen since running as though something was amiss in February but it will be very interesting to see what Paul Nicholls can do with him over fences. |

Won twice over hurdles in 2020-21 campaign and returned from long absence to post fair thirds in two handicap hurdles in the first half of this year; he won a point in 2019 and is a possible improver now tackling fences.

Just one win from his 24 chase starts but that came in July and he's been a good second in handicaps the last twice at Gowran Park (2m4f, heavy) and over C&D (good); bumped into unexposed winner last time and there's every chance he'll be bang there.

Off the mark over fences at 21st attempt, beating Mr Saxobeat in Tipperary novice (2m3f, good to yielding) in July; ran well in defeat last month and also has form over this C&D but takes on some rivals with significant potential today. |

Took him an age to win over fences which he finally did at Tipperary in July where he found plenty for pressure which hasn't always been the case; pulled up in valuable Market Rasen handicap later that month; goes on any ground but ideally would prefer it a bit better. |

Promising novice hurdler in winter 2021-22 and he ran pretty well in a Grade 2 novice in November 2022 on his sole chase start; however, his form has gone the wrong way on the Flat this year and others provide more compelling options; has had wind surgery since last run last month.

Bumper and 2m5f hurdles winner; switched to Flat rules for last four outings when runner-up over 1m2f on first two occasions (one on soft) but not so hot since, beaten about 11l when upped to 2m on Flat handicap debut at Chester last time; fair bit to prove after that. |

Soft-ground bumper/2m5f hurdles winner who goes right up in distance on Flat now handicapping, following a lesser effort on Polytrack three weeks ago; in second-time cheekpieces, he's one of the more interesting runners. |

He was running well in third (just behind runner-up Railway Hurricane) when slipping and almost falling at the final fence over C&D last month (good; pulled up); also effective on soft ground; might not be far away.

Won four-runner beginners' chase at Clonmel (2m4f, good) on chasing debut in June and has remained in good form since, perhaps most notably when second in Listed handicap at Killarney (2m5f, yielding to soft) in August; should give another good account here but others appeal more. |

Couldn't win a hurdle but fair start over fences this summer; after winning at Clonmel, had Sphagnum well behind when second in Tipperary novice and likewise The Little Yank was well in arrears when he was second in 2m5f Killarney handicap; handled yielding/soft last time, trainer says he ideally wants it good. |

Made it two wins (2m/2m4f, good to soft/soft) from his five hurdle starts when landing a good handicap at Sandown in April when last seen; he was a promising third in his sole point and there can be optimism this lightly raced 6yo can continue to progress now over fences; one to consider.

Looked good in winning his maiden at Newcastle and even better form when twice finishing second under penalties at Chepstow (2m, soft/good to soft); not disgraced when sixth of 16 in the EBF Final here (2m4f, heavy) and those very testing conditions were probably not ideal for him; could yet prove himself to be well handicapped. |

Improved form when winning on chase debut in mares' beginners event at Kilbeggan (extended 2m3f, good to yielding) in April and creditable fourth in Grade 3 novice chase at Galway (2m2f, good to yielding) in August, when shaping as though she'd be suited by this step back up in trip; has run well on yielding ground, unproven on soft; could have more to offer over fences.
