Displayed significant improvement when keeping on strongly to win Hereford handicap (2m3f, good) by 16l last month, on fifth start over hurdles, and has a good chance at the weights here; might be the answer.

0-19 over hurdles, which could be the bottom line, but he's been placed on four of his six starts this season, on last two occasions finishing runner-up on good ground over C&D and Stratford's 2m6f; wore cheekpieces on last three starts; looks set to be seriously involved again.

Bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and feasible excuses since then, as he was pressured up front two runs back and perhaps failed to stay 3m last time; now 0-23 under rules but one to bear in mind.

Stable won this last year and his pedigree suggests the step up in trip should suit on handicap debut, but he has been off 11 months and will need to improve on what he has shown in three starts in bumpers and two over hurdles.
