Very useful hurdler/chaser in his prime; well below best during a fairly light campaign last season (four hurdle runs; cheekpieces added last time) but will appreciate this ease in grade and has slipped to a dangerous mark.

Got up in final stride in second-time cheekpieces at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) most recently; remains well treated on peak form and this return to further is worth exploring; enters calculations in the retained headgear.

Form & Verdict
Didn't see out 3m when well-held third at Doncaster (good to soft) in March but ran well for a long way and is now back on same mark as for his clear second behind a useful rival there (2m3f, soft) in November; also suited by good ground; could be a tough nut to crack if aided by new cheekpieces.

Came good for current stable at Hexham (2m, good) last month, his second run in cheekpieces; up 4lb to career-high mark but will be suited by this move back up in trip and is evidently in good nick.

Yet to add to his 2m Ludlow maiden hurdle win but has run with credit since, most recently on handicap debut at Market Rasen when staying on over 2m4f after racing wide; likely to be involved off an unchanged mark if stamina holds up over this longer trip.
