Last campaign went well until he struggled in a big-field handicap at the Punchestown festival; unraced beyond 2m5f but should stay okay and do well over fences.

12st 7lb |
Fair third on last month's handicap debut at Hereford (2m3f, soft) and built on that with easy win at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) last Thursday; he's 5lb ahead of the handicapper under a 7lb penalty and should be tough to beat. |

Won three successive handicap hurdles last season (2m3f-2m5f) and ran right up to his best when second behind one well treated in a competitive 3m handicap at Ayr (3lb lower); should make a chaser.

3-5 since switched to handicaps this season, the latest win gained at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in January; below form when warm favourite at Ludlow in February but further progress remains possible. |

Jumped better on his second run over fences and comfortably accounted for his two rivals at Market Rasen (3m, good; has won on soft); raised just 4lb and looks the type who should progress.

OR: 106
Prolific pointer who has been nicely consistent since returned to rules action, winning back-to-back 2m5f handicap chases at Hereford (on good); had a bit in hand the last time and a 5lb rise should be fine, but this will take more winning.

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Prolific winning pointer (4-7); consistent since switching to racing under rules for Matt Sheppard; up 5lb for last month's C&D win (good) but can potentially continue with that forward momentum before the rain arrives; every chance he'll be in the thick of things. |

14th Oct 2024 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won three points during the spring and has finished second in three Worcester chases (2m, good/soft) for new stable in recent weeks (albeit only third best on merit last time); will be fine over today's trip and ought to be on the premises again. |

Record of 1-8 over hurdles; beaten 14l on his switch to fences at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) the final time and his jumping wasn't the best; had wind surgery.

Came good when landing a big-field handicap at Exeter (2m5f, good to soft) in November but he's pulled up in the mud in both subsequent runs; now returns to quicker ground but he needs a major revival at this new trip. |
14/1 |
