Can do too much in front but no alarms when making all in a Catterick claiming hurdle for Jennie Candlish in March (1m7f, good); out of a half-sister to a minor chase winner, but not bred for this job otherwise.

SR 134 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Dual 1m4f Flat winner (made all) and Summer Hurdle third last year, and jumped perfectly well when second on two of three chase starts in summer 2024; record of 62121 when returning from breaks of over 200 days.

SR 129 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

3-4 under Liam Harrison, gaining this year's Newcastle (good to soft) and Huntingdon (good) hurdles wins from the front but earlier bumper and point gains came under patient tactics; no chasers in immediate pedigree but his mark looks about right for this chasing/handicap debut.

SR 135 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Made all for two good-ground novice hurdle wins last November (2m, 2m3f); lesser form this year likely more to do with a refusal to settle under restraint than the move to handicaps, but a return to previous tactics may put him in a pace battle with a few here; chasers in pedigree.

SR 134 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Run of progressive hurdling RPRs halted by an unsuccessful step up to 2m7f back in January; not bred for fences and needs to prove able to translate his better work back to good ground, but trip more suitable again.

SR 137 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Productive autumn included a Carlisle hurdles win (2m1f, good) off 4lb lower; two flops either side of a late fall since March, however, and doesn't enter this chasing debut in the same good heart as some.

SR 129 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
