Form & Verdict

In the frame in three points before making all in Hereford bumper in March; held in two hurdle runs at Kempton (2m, good) since but he went close in the first one and his latest third was behind a smart prospect on Boxing Day; sets a fair standard on that latest effort and he's a big player for in-form yard.
