Form & Verdict
Shaped with promise on his debut for David Brace when third at Huntingdon (2m4f; chase debut) in December but he twice failed to build on it, coming in a well-held fifth at Leicester (2m) 25 days ago; starts out for another new yard here with something to prove.

Responsible for both of his new trainer's wins, the latest at this track (2m, good) 15 days ago; didn't appear to see his race out when tried over today's distance at Wincanton in April but he is clearly in good order.

0-7 over hurdles but he made it fourth-time lucky over fences when scoring on his stable debut at Taunton (2m, good) in March; looked fortunate because the leader made a bad mistake at the last but he's only 2lb higher here and he had an excuse when stepped back up 2m4f last time; dangerous back in trip.

0-7 over hurdles but he made it fourth time lucky over fences when scoring on his stable debut at Taunton (2m, good) last month; the leader made a bad mistake at the last but this 8yo wasn't far away at the time and he remains feasibly treated after a 2lb rise; respected back up in trip.

Six-race maiden over hurdles but already shaping as a better proposition over fences, building on an encouraging second on debut to get off the mark at Plumpton (2m1f, good) last month; 4lb rise looks fair given the likelihood of further progress and he can make his presence felt.

Justified good support when off the mark over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) in May and, after a solid second next time, doubled his tally over 2m4f here last time despite meeting interference; up 6lb and comes back in trip but he's open to further progress and this looks a good opportunity.
