Pulled up when 80-1 for recent stable/handicap debut (2m) and has now failed to complete all five hurdling starts; swaps hood for first-time cheekpieces here.
Fair Flat racer who opened hurdling account at fifth attempt, at Plumpton (2m2f, good) last month; not quite in same form when fourth there (2m, good) a fortnight later but still enters calculations.

Absent for nearly 800 days after winning bumper debut for another stable in 2023 and did not show much in three maiden/novice hurdles (1m7f-2m) for Neil Mulholland last season; has tongue-tie fitted for this handicap debut, though, and remains unexposed; watch the betting.

Back in prime form when winning from the front here (2m3f, good) last month and now 2-10 over hurdles; recent 3lb rise certainly doesn't look excessive, and he ought to be right in the thick of things again.

SR 79 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Well beaten on both Flat starts for this stable in the autumn and showed nothing more than minor promise in three maiden hurdles this spring; may fair better now handicapping but others have more obvious claims.

SR 69 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
0-5 over hurdles but posted good effort when keeping-on second here (2m3f, good) this month and has plenty of scope to build on that performance; no surprise if he features.
