Join Southwell Golf Club Novices' Handicap Chase

Made winning start under Rules in novice hurdle here in June 2024 and put his low-key chase debut behind him when second in a 2½m Haydock handicap during the spring. Matched that form despite being off the bridle early when second at Huntingdon on Tuesday. Major claims if backing it up quickly.

Made an encouraging start when runner-up in junior hurdle at Ffos Las and, after a 17-month absence, again showed promise when fifth of 15 in maiden at Ludlow (15.8f, heavy) in February 2024. Limited impact twice that spring and off further 19 months ahead of this chase debut.

Expensive purchase after winning sole start in points. Hit the frame last 3 starts around a year ago and he's a player if returning at that level.

Maiden but picked up where he left off at Fakenham in the summer when again second of 4 at that track 16 days ago. Should be in the mix.

Modest 17f winner over hurdles who wasn't discredited on his chasing bow when fourth of 11 at Worcester in September. Failed badly to back that up over same C&D a month ago.

Fourth of 6 sole start in point bumpers and failed to make much of an impact in 4 starts over hurdles last season. Down markedly in trip for chase/stable debut.
