Form & Verdict
With new yard for last two outings, shaping with promise on first occasion and making the most of her slip in the weights when justifying favouritism at Kelso (2m2f, good to soft) on latest; back up 5lb but did it in tidy style and could now have more to offer.

Pretty consistent in handicap hurdles since his maiden win at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) last February; trying chasing on last two outings did not go so well (tried in cheekpieces latest) but last season's form makes him a big player back in this sphere.
