Cheese & Cider Raceday April 1st Amateur Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

No longer the force of old but returned from 342-day absence with a pretty good third at Taunton (3m, good to soft) last month behind two next-time-out winners and competes off the same mark here; respected.

In career-best form this season, winning here (2m4f, good) and at Taunton (2m3f, heavy); well beaten on latest outing, though, and remains on tough mark for first 3m attempt under rules.

Dual point winner who came good under rules for Max Comley at Worcester (2m7f, good; first-time visor) last summer; absent since a lesser effort the following month and goes without a visor here but still worth a glance in the betting on this stable debut.

No comments available for this runner.

Launched handicap career with two soft-ground wins over 3m2f this year (one under Freddie Robson); fell when last in action and needs to prove he's fully effective on good ground but could still have significant further improvement to come.
