Form & Verdict
21-race maiden (Flat and jumps) but beaten only by a short head at Ayr (1m5f, good) when last seen out in April; that was a decent race for the grade and he handles soft ground; has a chance if wound up after 154-day absence having had wind surgery.

0-18 on the Flat but he was in fine form over hurdles earlier in the year, winning at Catterick and Sedgefield before good placed efforts at Carlise and Musselburgh; betting to guide back from a break.

Won in a first-time visor (retained since) at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January and easily made all at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) next time; having gone up 9lb he was beaten 9l when third of 14 at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last time but today's sharper track may help; could make bold bid.
