Join Southwell Golf Club Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland who capitalised on a falling mark and the run of the race when opening his account over fences at Market Rasen in March. Pulled up at Perth the following month, however, and off since (has had wind surgery).

Back in the groove when scoring in decisive fashion at Ffos Las in May. Solid second over hurdles at Aintree later that month and likely to have needed comeback run at Uttoxeter 6 weeks ago. Does look high enough in the weights, though.

Runner-up on sole outing in points and confirmed hurdles debut promise when landing the odds here 14 months ago. Caught the eye (looked the likeliest winner at one point) when fourth on belated return/chase debut over further here in November and sure to build on that.

Back-to-back winner of handicap chases in November 2023 and bagged another at Leicester (2m, heavy) a year ago. Might have needed the run after 11 months off (left behind from 3 out) at Haydock 16 days ago.

Winning hurdler who is going the right way as a chaser, all the better for return when winning at Leicester before good second at Market Rasen. Needs considering.

Without a win so far over fences but has shown better form than over hurdles, shaping as if still in good form at Warwick in November. Respected.

More miss than hit overall, often finding little. However, he was on a going day when emerging on top over C&D in December and not disgraced off revised mark at Fakenham since.
