Form & Verdict
Hasn't had a lot of racing and he makes his chase debut off the same mark he defied fairly comfortably in a 3m1f handicap hurdle last week at Huntingdon (good to firm); major claims if he takes to his new discipline.

Four wins since May divided between hurdles and fences; had a nice bit in hand when beating three rivals (including Sony Bill) over C&D 11 days ago and a 4lb rise could have been worse; on a roll and firmly in the mix.

Two hurdle wins since May and he squeezed in a successful chase debut at Worcester (2m7f, good) in between; latest third over hurdles here (about 2m7f, good) was a solid effort last Tuesday and he's a firm candidate again; due to go up 1lb.

Bumper and two-time novice hurdle winner who built on a solid sequence of placed form in staying handicap hurdles when switched to fences at Worcester (2m7f, good) a fortnight ago, jumping soundly and finishing second to a Dan Skelton-trained favourite; main concern is the forecast rain, as he has been confined to good ground.
