Lightly raced and his third in a 1m7f maiden at Wincanton (good) was a step forward, and that form looks even stronger now; potentially on a nice mark and he's bred for this longer trip; appealing.
AI verdict

SR 100 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Placed in 2m3f/3m1f handicaps but left Dan Skelton for £4,500 and as a nine-race maiden; likely best watched.
AI verdict

SR 83 suggests ability but 33/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Record of 1-18 over hurdles but he returned after 510 days off with a second at Southwell (2m4f, good) two weeks ago; that was a good effort behind an improver and he's a player if he can build on that.

Runner-up in his last two races but those were at about 3m and over a year ago now; fully entitled to need this.
AI verdict

SR 104 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
