Highly talented hurdler who finished fourth off topweight in the Martin Pipe Handicap at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) in March; didn't jump with fluency on his chase debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy) last month but still ran well to finish a close second of three; the first-time cheekpieces may help his jumping, and this looks a good opportunity.

11th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Unable to threaten over 2m5f/2m4f this spring at the big Cheltenham and Aintree meetings but he's kept on well each time and is well worth another crack at a staying trip; edging down the weights and could have a part to play if handling the ground (effective on good to soft, unraced on good). |

11st 9lb |
Mixed fortunes over fences this season and needs to jump better than in the Coral Cup last month when back over hurdles; however, in the circumstances (particularly a very bad mid-race blunder) he did pretty well to finish 13th and he's now 5lb lower than when a good fourth in the Martin Pipe (2m4f, soft) last March; ran a big race on sole visit here; cheekpieces (worn on last three starts) are left off; capable of playing a leading role. |

11st 9lb |
Fourth in the Martin Pipe here (2m4f, soft) one year ago off 3lb higher; his jumping has not been so convincing switched to fences this term but he's still looked in form; strong-travelling sort who should get into serious contention on this return to hurdling. |

On hurdle form he has plenty to find with Might I; however, he was still useful in that sphere (on good and soft going) and it's possible he'll improve for the switch to fences; stable is in fine form and, with Might I having not jumped well on last month's chase debut, he's not without hope today.

20th Oct 2024 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Won a match over C&D last November on his second chase start and runner-up at Wincanton (2m4f) in January; that form was not reproduced in his three runs this spring (C&D latest) but circumstances were not ideal; bit to prove returning from a break but case can be made. |

6th May 2024 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won a match over C&D in November on his second chase start and then runner-up at Wincanton (2m4f); the saddle slipped when tried in a hood at Plumpton and soft ground counted against when back over hurdles the last time; should give his running now but being 6lb out of the weights hurts his chances. |
5/1 |
