Form & Verdict
Five-time Flat winner (1m4f); justified strong market support when opening hurdles account here (2m, good to firm) in May, under Sean Bowen and shaping as though this longer trip would suit; up 6lb but remains capable of better after just eight starts in this sphere; leading contender.
