In his latest outing in November at Sedgefield, he secured 3rd place in an open maiden NH Flat race covering roughly 2 miles. He was sent off as the 10/11 favourite but lost momentum in the final furlong. Nevertheless, following this third-place result, he is still widely recognised as having authentic two-mile Championship potential owing to his physique and early career promise, making each-way at 20/1 an excellent wager.

This is a developing NH horse that has demonstrated potential over the 2m trip, although his form has been inconsistent. Most recently, he participated in a maiden hurdle at Lingfield last December, where he placed 6th. In a slightly longer race at Exeter in November, he performed better, finishing 4th. Notably, his earlier experience in Point-to-Point racing indicated a preference for longer distances. He secured victory in a 3m Point-to-Point race at Ballynoe in March, winning by 10 lengths. Considering this, I believe a speculative bet at generous 50/1 odds is worth considering.

He has displayed remarkable potential around this distance, recently showcasing an impressive performance as a stayer. Last month, he secured a victory in a 3m handicap hurdle at Limerick. Although his earlier career was marked by inconsistency, including some unsuccessful chasing attempts, his return to hurdles at longer staying distances has greatly enhanced his profile, making an each-way bet at favourable odds an excellent opportunity.

Commonly seen as capable at 2m on heavy ground, his form shows he has struggled to secure a win for a while. Yet he frequently places or runs to form in handicap hurdles, showing he is competitive at a lower level. So, for each-way betting, I think the 14/1 odds represent great value.

The 6-year-old showcases both skill and reliability at the 2m 4f mark in lower-level handicap hurdle races. He achieved a win last November in a 2m 4f Class 5 handicap hurdle at Windsor. In the realm of lower-tier hurdle races at this trip, he is a formidable competitor who has demonstrated his capacity to win. Yet here, he may have to settle for a place, which should still profit at decent odds.

While he boasts several wins around this distance in hurdles, he is still classified as a maiden over fences, despite his commendable placings in long-distance chases such as the Porterstown at Fairyhouse and a third-place finish in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham. He adapts well to various ground conditions, from soft to yielding, and is expected to appreciate this test of stamina. The generous 20/1 odds represent solid each-way value and should lead to a profit.

This 10-year-old is a dependable and proficient 5f specialist, particularly in competitive handicap events. Although a seasoned competitor, he could be susceptible to younger, improving challengers. He has triumphed in 10 races over this trip. He regularly finishes in the top ranks of competitive, closely fought 5f handicaps, frequently exhibiting genuine battling qualities. Although he has yet to secure a win on AW, a place is achievable at generous odds of 50/1.
