Form & Verdict

Useful hurdler; didn't run badly in Grade 2 at Cheltenham in January when back from a long absence but failed to build on that in three runs since; makes chase debut off a very good mark and difficult to rule out if ready to roll back from a break, albeit with a bit to prove.

Very well handicapped judged on best efforts, including on soft at this track, but they were two seasons ago; 660 days off before last of five to high-class Lossiemouth here in January, which didn't look bad strictly on form but he struggled on heavy ground at Wincanton in another Grade 2 three weeks later; back up in trip but does not look the percentage call.

Form & Verdict

14-race maiden chaser, albeit highly tried at times and not beaten far over the Punchestown banks on two occasions this year for Enda Bolger; remains in the same ownership but has since changed stables and he can't be ruled out on the pick of his form if ready to do himself justice after a break; versatile trip-wise and handles most ground.

Off for nearly a year before pulling up on chase debut (jumped poorly) and when reverting to hurdles in March but subsequent efforts back on good ground yielded two wins at around this trip and he didn't run badly off this mark when third in May; needs to cut out the mistakes reverting to fences but interesting back from a break.

Winner and a close second in first two handicaps last spring; pulled up in first two starts after 11 months off but he turned things round with a narrow win at Warwick (2m3f, good) which would have been more emphatic with cleaner jumps at the last two; bold bid likely despite 4lb rise.

Lightly raced 8yo who was mostly consistent over hurdles with form figures of 3324 in handicaps (2m4f-3m); however, having left Olly Murphy for 6,500gns this April, he was pulled up on chase debut (2m5f; 50-1) one month ago returning from lengthy spell on the sidelines; entitled to be all the sharper for that but best watched for the time being.

Form & Verdict

Made a good start to handicap career when winning at Cheltenham (3m, soft) in January 2023 but rather patchy since, including when finishing a well-beaten fourth of five on chase debut at Newbury in December; probably best watched on his reappearance over a trip short of his best.

Did well last term, including with a Cheltenham win (3m, soft), until tailed off in this race; much more like it again when third of 14 in the Musselburgh qualifier last month, but he does need to hit a new high.
