Form & Verdict
Won a Southwell bumper (good) last May; built on that with his last two runs over hurdles when second on good to soft at Wincanton (2m4f) and Kempton (2m5f), and that's vastly better form than anything shown by today's solitary rival.

Only stepped up to 3m in his last three races and went close in two of those; looked as though he'd win at Newbury last time (good to soft) only to get outbattled; the cheekpieces could be significant.

Won seasonal/handicap debut at Newton Abbot (extended 2m6f, good to soft) in October; good C&D third (soft) next time but a flop as favourite at Doncaster (3m, good) in December when last seen; needs to resume improvement.

T: Emma Lavelle

Bumper winner who made the breakthrough over hurdles when landing a maiden at Exeter (2m5f, good) in March; had to work hard to seal the deal in that match but he's still unexposed in this sphere and should have more to offer in handicaps this season; had wind surgery since last run.

Form & Verdict
Had wind surgery after both his bumpers last term; with modest form in this season's two novice hurdles, the last of three finishers on first occasion, he needs a transformation.
