0-13 over hurdles but recent Flat form suggests he's on a very workable mark; interesting

Record of 2-4 at Uttoxeter; still well treated on peak form; possibilities back here

Well treated on best form but he's a quirky sort whose losing run goes back to 2022

Still has something to prove over hurdles but is very well handicapped on Flat form

Maiden; chance partly depends on how well he reacts to first-time cheekpieces
