PWA Architecture Handicap Hurdle

Won twice over C&D in summer 2023 but has regressed and tends to race lazily nowadays; looked particularly unenthusiastic when well beaten over C&D in May; too risky.

Progressive 7yo who won twice over about 2m last season (once here) and posted career-best performance when clear second at Kelso (2m5f, good) in May; in contention before veering right and crashing through wing of penultimate flight here (2m, good) last month; major player if he cuts out the antics today.

2-3 for new stable, the latter win gained from the front at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month; recent 7lb rise asks a question of him here but he might still be on the upgrade; respected.

Ran very poorly on handicap debut in December and not seen again since but remains very unexposed (particularly over this sort of trip) and is worth a glance in the betting; cheekpieces removed after one use.

Won in first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in February and went close in first-time visor over C&D (good) in May but has very mixed record since the autumn and his latest run was disappointing.
