Form & Verdict
0-7 over hurdles and pulled up (jumped poorly) in his only jumps run for James Owen; however, was second in a selling handicap hurdle at Cartmel in May (last run for Brian Ellison) and was second again on the Flat last week (2m); hard to trust but clearly has the ability to be involved.
