Came from off the pace for clearcut success at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) in May and has performed very respectably in races that weren't really run to suit since; can be dangerous if this race sets up more favourably for him.

6th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Usually ridden by 5lb claimer William Maggs; came from last for a clearcut win at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) in May and did the same in 14-runner race at Worcester (2m7f, good) three weeks ago; also acts on soft; not all races pan out so favourably for those tactics but he needs plenty of respect. |

Dual 2m hurdle winner in early 2023; began this year with two down-the-field AW runs but was evidently well suited by the hike up in trip when close second on return to hurdling at Ludlow (3m, good) last month; still unexposed as a stayer; one to consider. |

Returned from break with two fairly respectable runs towards the end of last season (2m3f/2m4f) and another when third over 2m7f in the refitted cheekpieces at Worcester one month ago; not the force of old and has not won since 2021 but has place claims. |

Had been pulled up behind Townhill in April but a revelation since this visor went on, winning both starts this month, latterly at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) when comfortably defying a 6lb rise; unsurprisingly hit with a 9lb rise for that but he's won off this high in the past and needs serious consideration in his hat-trick bid in the hope the headgear continues to have a positive effect. |

Looked in excellent nick when drawing clear to cause 28-1 surprise at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago and can probably cope with today's 7lb higher mark, but has become a difficult horse to predict; chance probably depends on what sort of mood he's in. |
