Form & Verdict
Kept on well to score over C&D (good to soft) last month, opening his account on his 32nd career start; well-held third at Perth next time but that was a tough task behind a massive improver and he remains feasibly treated on his penultimate form; not ruled out.

Two wins at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last year and on a handy mark on that form; soft ground may not have suited here last time but he's now been well below par on his last two starts and has to get back on track.

Form & Verdict
Record of 1-9 over hurdles; made low-key start over fences at Cartmel in July but he's justified support over C&D (Killybegs Jet Lady second) and at Perth (3m, good) in two subsequent runs; has a penalty for his win last Thursday but he's on a roll and is open to more progress in this sphere; key player.
