4/1 FCST 7/2
Dual 3m Irish point winner (good to yielding, soft) making most; similar or same tactics haven't borne fruit in short rules career to date, but no surprise if he improves for fences as a half-brother to triple 3m chase scorer; may be worth chancing in a weak race.

SR 82 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Beaten favourite on last three starts, albeit one upped to 3m4f and Class 3 and another over hurdles; largely back on track with last month's Wincanton second, and doesn't appear weighted out of further gains.

SR 91 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

RPRs have been improving gently since sent handicap chasing, and a better jump at the last may have seen him oblige at Newcastle latest (3m, good to soft); won't mind good ground, having won an Irish point on it.

SR 87 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .

Majority of rules and point wins have been recorded around sharp left-handers, but found the fences coming too quickly even for him at Fakenham on last month's stable debut (3m5f, good; debuted cheekpieces retained here); no surprise were he to prove better than that again.

SR 90 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Conversion rate of just 2-27 over fences; several long absences following his last win in summer 2023, and hasn't been since a 47l last of five finishers in this race last year; best watched.

SR 55 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .

1-37 and still surprisingly error-prone despite so much chasing experience, leaving his mark on several fences en route to a 8l C&D fourth latest (good); frame finish probable but hard to predict better even off this career-low mark whilst the mistakes remain; cheekpieces return.

SR 104 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Claims on March's Newcastle third (2m4f, good to soft), but cosmetically respectable form figures this year disguise one or two heavy defeats, this trip as much the issue as her jumping left at Fakenham latest.

SR 92 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

First form since summer 2024 when an 80-1 third at Fontwell this month (3m2f, good); trip and ground as much to suit again this time, but no certainty to back up that effort.

Placed on both previous C&D starts, including when beaten under 1l by On The Platform in this race (good to soft; headed last); out of sorts this year, however, and needs a positive response to wind surgery.
