Unreliable type. Eleven runs since last win in 2021 and ran poorly after 6 months off at Uttoxeter last week. Not out of the question he could return to form but percentage call to look elsewhere.

Fairly useful hurdler at best but became disappointing for Paul Nicholls, finishing last in 6-runner handicap at Fontwell on final outing in October. Given a chance by the assessor on first start for new yard but is risky.

Fairly useful 2m Flat winner for Jedd O'Keeffe. Changed hands for 78,000 gns and shaped promisingly when third on hurdles debut here over 2m. Held back by her jumping since but it's still early days and she remains with some potential based on Flat form.
