Unbeaten in a point and two bumpers and this front-runner is 3-11 over hurdles, with his last success in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (2m, good) last October; ended last season with a creditable fifth of 17 in a Sandown handicap (2m4f, good) and he has an edge on official ratings over his sole rival; should take some catching on chase debut.

27th Apr 2024 Good 2m 3f 173y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Runs well from the front, and performed creditably in the face of a stiff task when 10l third of six in Grade 1 novice at Aintree (2m, soft; wore cheekpieces) two weeks ago; showed he stayed this far when second in the Challow in December, and he was also runner-up in the Greatwood at Cheltenham in the autumn; has a good attitude and ought to be thereabouts. |

12th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Acts on soft; disappointing in major handicap at Newbury two months ago but very consistent otherwise this term and may well rebound provided he takes to first-time cheekpieces; Greatwood effort is strong form and he scored at this meeting two years ago (Grade 2 bumper). |

Made it 2-4 over hurdles when landing a Grade 2 at Kelso (2m2f, good to soft) in March and he had a tough assignment in Grade 1 at Aintree in final run last season; should have a good future at this new discipline but this is not an easy starting point against Lookaway who has the best hurdling form.

Acts on soft ground; bagged Grade 2 honours at Kelso (2m2f) six weeks ago, taking hurdles record to 3-4, but had little to spare and posted a substandard performance for that particular race; has much more on his plate at this higher level. |
