Form & Verdict
Dual hurdling winner for Alan King but didn't convince in two chasing attempts for him in March 2021; long absence before reappearing for current yard and tailed off three times over hurdles; reservations, therefore.

J: Adam Wedge

Quite useful hurdler but not an immediate success over fences; in moderate form over hurdles for new yard but was tenacious, despite wandering, when hanging on to his lead in an ordinary beginners' chase at Leicester recently (2m, good); favourably treated on past hurdle form and might improve.

Has modest strike-rate and is very inconsistent but has slipped to a good mark and ran well over C&D on his only previous visit Fakenham; cheekpieces (missing when tailed off at Fontwell last month) are refitted here; can be dangerous if in the right mood.
