Joined Peter and Michael Bowen after winning selling handicap here (2m2f, good) for Gary Hanmer last month and followed up with last-gasp success for new stable at Worcester (2m, soft; front pair clear) ten days ago; has stamina to prove today but still respected in current mood.

Just one win from 29 starts, the victory coming over hurdles in April 2022 when trained by Gordon Elliott; three respectable runs back on the Flat for new yard this summer but more will be needed to shed his maiden status on the Flat.

Form & Verdict

Over 8l clear of Dog Fox when landing another C&D 0-110 in July (good); still fabulously handicapped on his summer 2022 best but appeared to find this 6lb higher mark beyond him last month, and another poor Flat run last time needs forgiving also.

Form & Verdict

No match for an officially 119-rated fellow penalised rival in a Stratford novice latest, albeit he neither settled nor jumped optimally; mark is no gift but he remains of interest, and he won't mind any rain having appeared happier granted cut for his Cartmel maiden success previously.

C&D bumper scorer here in June 2022 (good) but essentially a very ordinary performer for three top yards before too tough an ask on debut for his latest trainer last time (class 3 chase); wind surgery since.

Won claiming hurdle for Fergal O'Brien in December and didn't run as badly as eventual 51l defeat might suggest in Hereford chase for James Owen in May, but he still can't be recommended from 37lb out of the weights on debut for latest new stable.

Unseated rider at first fence on chasing debut for Fergal O'Brien last October; subsequently won a claiming hurdle for that stable but is 0-7 over hurdles for James Owen (latest defeat was in back plating company) and looks too risky on this second chasing attempt.

Form & Verdict

Refusal to settle found him out up Cartmel's run-in latest (2m6f, good to soft), and whilst that was an improved effort his perfect trip perhaps isn't clear yet; initial mark at least makes sense on that effort.

£72,000 3yo from a staying family; ran green but far from disgraced when fifth in Exeter bumper in November that has worked out well; likely to come into his own when going over further but interesting to see how he figures in market on hurdling debut.
