Good overall strike-rate but apppeared to be going nowhere until winning over 2m3f at Catterick (soft) when not without support; just 3lb higher.

Form & Verdict

Hexham winner last May (3m, good to soft) and twice placed afterwards; on a competitive mark should wind surgery have had the desired effect.

Form & Verdict

Only his second run over fences when winning by 3l at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) but he ran no race at Musselburgh on Sunday with his jumping not helping; probably on a fair mark if he can put his best foot forward.
