    Form & Verdict
    Dual Irish point winner; showed marked improvement on what he'd previously achieved in three runs over hurdles when winning a maiden hurdle here over 2m this month, keeping on well; has to concede weight all round under a penalty, but his experience will help and it's likely there's more to come now going back up in trip.

    Won two Hexham novice hurdles in May (2m/2m4f) and rewarded strong market support when winning from just out of the weights over C&D (also on good) last month, jumping well and making all; could still have a lot more to offer over fences.

    Delivered on promise shown in Irish points/bumpers when making all twice over hurdles in novice company at Hexham (2m/2m4f, good) in May; respectable third on handicap debut there (2m4f, good) last month and looks quite interesting on this chase debut, even from 4lb out of the weights.

    T: Ben Haslam

    Return to forcing tactics has reaped dividends, both recent course wins (2m/2m4f, good) gained making all; starts handicap life in a higher grade than he absolutely has to, and the early lead will likely be contested, but his mark isn't punitive by any means; remains of interest.
