Went 3-3 over hurdles last season, including a listed novice. Best of the rest behind Lulamba on Exeter chase debut/reappearance and in command when left to come home alone from 3 out in Uttoxeter maiden since. Capable of better.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosUttoxeter2m 4fHeavy (Soft in places)Chase1/2Exeter2m 1f 109yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase2/5Exeter2m 161yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/6Market Rasen2m 2f 140yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/8Uttoxeter1m 7f 168ySoft (Good to Soft in Places)Hurdle1/10- 2MeetmebytheseaJ: Ben JonesT: Ben Pauling1113-1Age 65/411/106/5

Progressive novice hurdler last season, winning 3 times before fine third in EBF Final at Sandown in March. Reappeared to win a 2m Wetherby novice handicap chase in November, impressing with his accurate jumping. Has the potential for considerable improvement.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWetherby1m 7f 36ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/5Sandown Park2m 3f 173yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle3/16Doncaster2m 128yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/8Ludlow1m 7f 169yGood to SoftHurdle1/8Ludlow1m 7f 169yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/8- 4Dedicated HeroJ: Callum BewleyT: Sandy Thomson115-678Age 710/110/111/1

Fairly useful dual bumper/hurdle but has been operating a little below his best in handicap hurdles this season ahead of this switch to fencesDateCourseDistGoingTypePosAintree2m 4fGood to SoftHurdle8/8Cheltenham2m 87ySoftHurdle7/18Carlisle2m 3f 218ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/11Perth2m 7f 207yGood to SoftHurdle5/14Haydock Park1m 7f 144ySoftHurdle1/7- 5From The CloudsJ: Jack PowerT: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore411U/2Age 918/118/120/1

Quickly made into a fairly useful hurdler, scoring twice over 2m at Newcastle early in 2024. Showed aptitude for chasing after 19 months off when second over C&D in November and entitled to come on for that.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr2m 110ySoftChase2/5Newcastle2m 190yHeavyHurdleur/5Newcastle2m 190yHeavyHurdle1/7Newcastle2m 190yHeavy (Soft In Places)Hurdle1/8Newcastle2m 4f 62yHeavyHurdle4/12- 3Big John WayneJ: Derek FoxT: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore3F/2-Age 818/118/120/1

Fairly useful form over hurdles without winning in 2024. A point win suggests he can do at least well over fences but he's been off for 15 months and he bumps into a couple of good prospects here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWorcester2m 7fSoftHurdle2/4Newcastle2m 4f 62yHeavy (Soft In Places)HurdleF/4Hereford2m 5f 163yGood to SoftHurdle3/8
