Form & Verdict
Winning hurdler whose sole Flat success came on stable debut in a four-runner novice here (9.5f) in January; has run well over this trip and further on a few occasions in the meantime and, despite a three-month absence, is worth a second look down in class.

Won over C&D in January; runner-up at Southwell (1m6f) next time and has won over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell on his two starts since; his wins have been narrow ones, meaning he is climbing the weights only slowly, and there can be optimism this progressive 5yo has more left in the tank.
