Won 3m2f chase here last month and is effectively 5lb lower for switch back to hurdling

Latest chase run was just respectable but he might be happier back over hurdles
2	Fine By Me b J:Jamie Brace(5) T:Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	J:Jamie Brace(5) T:Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	167	t	F8-227	99	102	95	28d	—	—	-42	32.3	6/1 14%
Below par on latest outing but began this season with two good seconds (3m2f/2m7f)
3	Faded Fantasy b J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	166	t	481-41	98	100	91	45d	—	—	-42	32	7/1 13%
Not one to rely upon heavily nowadays but won at Worcester on latest outing in July
5	Lelantos br J:James Bowen T:Nicky Henderson	J:James Bowen T:Nicky Henderson	164	p	U7/34P	96	103	91	36d	—	—	-43	31.5	7/1 13%
Lightly raced and generally disappointing since winning this in 2023; hard to predict
9	Danzini br J:Adam Wedge T:Keiran Burke	J:Adam Wedge T:Keiran Burke	149	t	9353-9	81	102	79	58d	—	—	-47	27.8	17/2 11%
Probably needed reappearance run here in June; has possibilities off last winning mark

Yet to build upon last September's surprise win; others preferred

40-1 fourth over C&D on rules return in June; on balance, others look stronger

Safely held on both starts for new stable in June; revival needed

Not seen under rules since 2022 and this year's point form is underwhelming
NR	Rubys Legacy b J:TBC T:David Rees	J: T:David Rees	168	t	4/P4-2	100	90	15	48d	—	—	—	17.5	—
Did not achieve much when second in three-runner maiden last month; on tough opening mark
