Form & Verdict
Ran out two from home in consecutive races late last year; confirmed he has plenty of ability when third at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in January, covered up as he made his way from rear, and raced too freely when upped to 2m7f for handicap debut at Ascot (good) six weeks ago; there's a big rethink on trip today and he is one of the top three on ratings.

Showed significant ability in three bumpers, particularly at Kempton (soft) latest; however, although third of nine on hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good to soft) early this month, he finished an awfully long way behind the first two; needs to step up dramatically from that performance.
