26 defeats include 16 over hurdles but he might have put that right but for some late interference at Bangor two weeks ago (2m3f, good); that was encouraging after 206 days away.

Returned to racing under rules with win in four-runner chase at Fakenham (3m, good) in April, in which his three rivals toiled and were pulled up; it's hard to gauge what that form is worth and his overall profile is not compelling but he clocked a good time (despite being eased right down).

Runner-up over hurdles here (2m4f, good; first-time blinkers) on latest rules start last June and competes off a 10lb lower mark today, but his chasing strike-rate is 0-11 and this year's point form is uninspiring.

Won over fences here (2m5f, good) last spring and doubled her course tally in modest handicap hurdle (2m7f, good) a week ago; far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but reverts to chasing on a good mark and has obvious claims if in the right mood again.
