Last season was his first under rules, best efforts on last two starts when the tongue-tie went on and he won a novice handicap at Huntingdon (2m5f, good; by 7l) before close seventh at same track (2m4f, good); back up in trip for this chase debut after wind surgery and should bring potential.
Made a winning return in 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las in May but ran poorly in July on her only start since, both on good ground; needs to resume improvement on this switch to chasing.
Minor honours on all three runs for new stable this July/September, over fences at 3m2f, 2m7f and 2m4f; cheekpieces were enlisted last time; should be seriously involved again.
Had two chase wins at Huntingdon in 2022 and surged back to some form when scoring from Get With It at Worcester (2m7f, good) five weeks ago; back up 5lb but he was 5lb higher this time last year and a good deal better before that; one to note having taken that step back up the ladder.
Usually front-runner of late; won over hurdles here in June 2023 and over fences at Market Rasen this June; jumping errors have intervened on last two outings, however, and he was pulled up on latest; not proven over this far.
3-5 in points in 2023 and 2024 but his return to racing under rules saw him well beaten in fifth under Osian Radford at Fontwell in August (18-1); unraced beyond an extended 2m5f under rules.
Both his chase wins were in spring 2023 over an extended 2m5f; there have been some echoes of that form this year, including third at Worcester (2m7f) on penultimate start, but he's been inconsistent.
Returned to form with a close call in May, won at Southwell (3m, good) in June and creditable fourth at Newton Abbot (3m2f) in August; major each-way player if he can sustain that sequence.
Lightly raced maiden; cheekpieces enlisted when switched to chasing for last three starts, runner-up debut at Southwell (near 3m1f, heavy) and Leicester (near 2m7f, soft) on first two occasions but a flop when favourite at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) on latest; that was in March, so he could return refreshed, but the forecast ground today is different.
Modest maiden over hurdles (stays an extended 3m1f) but his two attempts over fences, including latest start, have not been so proficient; tongue-tie is added today.
Made all, jumping well, in four-runner race at Fakenham (3m5f, good) in March and good second on his next two starts; ran poorly when favourite in May and although his sixth of 12 at Perth was better when next seen in August, he needs much better than that; chance if back to his peak.
Irish point winner in 2022 (yielding to soft); modest at best since in two bumpers and four hurdles races, given wind surgery (also tongue tied) before her stable/handicap debut over 2m6f at Fontwell latest; switches to chasing with first-time cheekpieces but no solid form claims under rules.
Sole win was over fences in April 2023; second at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in February; given wind surgery after that but returned to form only when short-headed at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) 12 days ago; often front-runner, including for those two good runs, but he's not proved his stamina.
