4lb well in for last week's 2m4f win here, and he's been a C&D scorer in the past also

Back to form at Ludlow latest, albeit not quite seeing out 2m5f; has further to go here

Anonymous recent return, but chase form here last summer/autumn offers hope of a place

58l defeat by Fine By Her last time was just the latest below-par effort this spring

Only one completion from five since his 2021 Irish novice win (2m4f, good); opposable
