Play Golden Goals At BetMGM Handicap Hurdle

2-2 since switched to handicaps this season, the latter win gained at Warwick (2m5f, good) in November; might still be on the upgrade and needs to be taken very seriously.

Not seen over hurdles since going very close on handicap debut at Carlisle (3m1f, good) for James Ewart last April but made a pleasing stable debut on the Flat last month (cheekpieces refitted) and features prominently in calculations.

Returned to form with close second at Chepstow (2m3f, good; after wind op) at end of last season but was back in the doldrums on reappearance outing in November; now sports cheekpieces; others look much less risky.

Delivered on early promise when winning Plumpton maiden (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in November, form that has been well advertised by the second and third since; should have more improvement to come in handicaps; shortlisted.

Well beaten on first two starts for Syd Hosie but put in fairly good front-running shift before weakening into eighth at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft; first-time visor) last month; contests this easier race from a workable mark and has possibilities if the new trip suits.
