Kempton

Added to his good Chepstow record with chase and hurdle wins last season. Ran as if needing the race on Sandown reappearance a fortnight ago and should be sharper now.

Resumed winning ways at Cartmel in July 2023. Some good efforts in defeat since, including fourth of 17 in competitive Swinton at Haydock in May, but off since a poor run at Cartmel in June.

Won sole outing in France last year and made promising start for new connections when readily taking 6-runner juvenile hurdle at Huntingdon (2m, soft) in January. Surely has more to offer now moving into handicap company on his return. Engaged 2.15 Exeter Sunday.

Drew a blank over fences last season but took his hurdle strike-rate to a healthy 3-6 when taking a 2m Plumpton handicap on reappearance 3 weeks ago. Should remain competitive up 5 lb.

Opened hurdles account at the sixth attempt when making all in a Plumpton maiden (2m, good to soft) in March. Creditable runner-up efforts on all 3 outings since (including C&D). Should give another good account.

Just a modest Flat winner but quickly made up into a better hurdler in summer 2022, winning 4 juveniles. Shaped as if retaining ability back from an absence last winter but didn't show much at Newbury on recent return from another 9 months off.
