Made a winning start over fences at Bangor (2m1f) in May and doubled his tally for the season back hurdling at Uttoxeter (2m) in July; not at his best when last of three in 2m1f Sedgefield handicap hurdle 22 days ago, though.

Form & Verdict
His form has gone the wrong way since he won at Perth last July but he's posted fair efforts the last twice (2m1f/2m4f, good to soft) and continues to edge down the weights; each-way shout in reapplied tongue-tie.

Maiden who was soundly beaten back in a handicap at Newcastle in December but has had wind surgery since and two starts ago he was running very creditably in a C&D novice (good to soft) when falling at the final flight; on a good mark if tapping back into that promise.
