Didn't run to his best in two tries over fences early last year although was placed once from five starts when pointing in Ireland; has since won over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft; first-time visor) and Kelso (2m5f, good; first-time blinkers); 2m1f was too short on reappearance; not sure what to expect back up in trip returned to fences.
Off the mark over fences at Hexham in June (2m4f, good to soft; tongue-tie on first time, second-time cheekpieces); hasn't run as well since; tries 3m for first time under rules although did win a 3m point.
Won sole Irish point in March 2023; won an Ayr mares' handicap on fourth start over hurdles (2m4f, soft) and third on two runs, including over 3m, after that; interesting on chase debut after a 604-day break; has had wind surgery.
Irish raider; dual point winner, latest last month (3m, soft/heavy); makes quick reappearance after creditable third at Sedgefield (3m2f, soft) on Friday, fading late; this easy 3m should suit; interesting contender.
Won a 2m4f handicap chase for Martin Keighley in August 2024 (good); some fair form over hurdles since joining present yard (ran poorly on only try over fences) but was well beaten on reappearance in October.
Point bumper winner on soft; yet to win over jumps for current yard although finished a fair third at Perth last time (3m, soft); each-way possibilities.
Maiden point winner in October 2022 (3m, soft); yet to win under rules but sound run when 0.75l second to an in-form rival at Kelso (2m7f, good to soft) in November; thereabouts.
Four wins over fences, including two here, the latest off 4lb lower over C&D in November last year; contender now back here despite a below-par run last time.
Irish point winner who won a 3m maiden hurdle for James Ewart in January 2023 (good to soft); mixed form since, including for Micky Hammond, but has dropped to a good mark and wouldn't rule out.
Three chase wins, the latest at Hexham in March (3m, good to soft); some fair runs since, although well-beaten third at Sedgefield last time; may do better here.
3-31 over fences, the latest at Carlisle in March 2024 (3m, soft); mixed form since then but has dropped 19lb in the ratings so could go well, although best efforts on stiff tracks.
