Launched chasing career with two disappointing runs last December and has reverted to hurdling this year; aided by cheekpieces when winning two Class 2 handicaps this summer (2m4f/2m5f, good); now needs to prove he can transfer that useful form to fences.

7 yo Gelding
OR: 133
Progressive 7yo who has won four of his five chases this season, with the only defeat being a pefectly respectable run in Market Rasen's competitive Summer Plate; will be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; good chance.

1st 2 |
6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Progressive 7yo who began this season with three chase wins (2m4f-2m5f, good/good to soft) and also ran well when fifth in Summer Plate at Market Rasen (2m5f, good); might still be on the upgrade; respected. |
9/4 |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Took his time to take to fences but he's won his last three at about this trip, narrowly last time at Uttoxeter (4lb lower); further progress is possible but it looks significant that Harry Skelton has jumped ship. |

Has pretty good 6-18 strike-rate over hurdles, the latest win gained at Uttoxeter (2m7f, soft; also suited by good ground) in July; ran poorly last month but has good chance at the weights here if he takes well to chasing at the first attempt.
