Form & Verdict

Maiden hurdler but he's been a big improver since switched to fences, winning over 3m at Warwick in June before following up over 2m4f at Worcester (both on good); disappointing when favourite in his hat-trick bid at Worcester last month but he's still unexposed over fences and remains feasibly treated on his penultimate form; big player if he can bounce back.
