Smooth-traveller who added to his terrific course record when scoring cosily over C&D in June. Produced a laboured effort back on the Flat at Salisbury last month but dangerous to dismiss back at his beloved track.

Fairly useful Flat performer who took well to hurdling last summer, completing a maiden/novice hat-trick. Added to his tally under a good tactical ride in a Stratford handicap in October but shaped as if amiss on his return (had breathing op) at Uttoxeter in July. Cheekpieces on 1st time over Jumps.

3-time C&D winner who shaped as if back in form in a first-time visor here in July. Creditably effort back on the Flat later in the month and needs considering.

Revived when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle (15/2) at Worcester (16f, good) 28 days ago by ¾ length from Sergeant, responding well. Remains well treated on old form.

Showed improved form to make a successful handicap debut in 8-runner event at Stratford (18.7f, good, 5/1) 39 days ago, responding well from the last to see off the favourite. 3 lb rise potentially lenient and looks sure to go well again.

Resumed winning ways at Fakenham in June and good efforts next 2 outings, including when perhaps making his effort a shade earlier than ideal in a well-run race at Cartmel. However, found his good run of coming to a halt there in July and was held at the time of his fall at Uttoxeter last month.

Consistent for Milton Harris in 2022/23 season and showed plenty of ability remains after 18 months off when ¾-length second of 12 to Byzantine Empire in handicap hurdle at Worcester (2m, good) 28 days ago. Has since left Harriet Dickin.

Dual winner who quickly returned to form in a first-time hood when fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good) 32 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Has to be taken seriously.
