3/1

Comment: Made the frame in both bumpers last season, more recently when keeping-on second at Ascot (good) in February; likely to be suited by the longer trip on this hurdling debut; leading contender.

Comment: Placed in big-field Kempton bumper (good to soft) in March 2024 but both hurdle runs this year were very disappointing and he comes here with a lot to prove.

Comment: Runner-up in low-grade Flat handicap last spring (1m2f, good; RPR 59); returned from layoff when disappointing Flat run last month but has each-way claims here if he takes well to hurdling.

Comment: Showed first significant promise when 200-1 fourth at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in January, his third hurdle start, but never looked dangerous there and needs to improve again here.
