He was a hard ride over C&D last month (good) but on top when it mattered and his record here now reads 2111; raised 4lb but a greater concern is whether he'll be up for it.

SR 100 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Made winning handicap debut in Ireland in April 2025 but had disappointing campaign for new stable last season; drops back in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces here; needs to turn a corner.

SR 97 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Ended 2025 with emphatic win from the front at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft), his third chase success, but returned from a break with two disappointing runs (chase/hurdle) towards end of last season and has something to prove.

SR 80 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Course bumper winner who was placed on last three of her four hurdling starts, most recently when third here (2m1f, good) ten days ago; moves up in trip today and should have improvement to come in handicaps.

SR 97 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Has a largely progressive profile since winning at Chepstow (2m, soft) in January and produced a personal best when landing a Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) handicap last month, keeping on well; 6lb rise will demand more again but his age allowance is a key factor and he remains open to further progress.

Won two of his first three races over hurdles; the wheels have fallen off this year and he pulled up on his last two runs, latest in first-time cheekpieces (retained); a hood is now on for the first time.
