All four chase wins came around 2m when trained by Dan Skelton; second on his stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) in December but has been disappointing since; didn't appear to stay 2m7f on his last two runs so the drop in trip will be welcome; also takes a drop in grade off a declining mark so cannot dismiss.
Has taken well to fences at around this distance, winning at Stratford and Fontwell before unseating at the last when still in front at Stratford (2m4f, good to firm) last month; she must come under consideration to get back on track.
Nothing special over hurdles but made an immediate impact over fences, scoring at this track (2m, good; 28-1) last month; unable to replicate that form when beaten 47l over the same C&D three weeks ago and needs to bounce back on this step back up in trip.
Off the mark on his fifth attempt over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) in May and made the winner pull out all the stops when second over C&D (good) last month; in decent nick at present and looks sure to give a good account.
His sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off 2lb higher; didn't offer a great deal once headed when third at Southwell (2m5f, good) last month in a first-time visor (retained) but has dropped to a career-low mark with Sean Bowen on board so all is not lost.
0-9 under rules; not a bad effort when runner-up on her chasing debut at Southwell (2m5f, good) last month but beaten 23l over C&D since; needs to show more.
Twice placed in 2m4f hurdle races here last summer (good) but ended last year's campaign on a low, achieving little on October's chasing debut; can't be certain he will hit the ground running in 2026.
