Form & Verdict

Lost his way a shade over fences on last couple of tries but lightly tried at the same time and back with a bang with a hurdle win on his recent course visit; clearly in good spirits and the tongue-tie seems to have rejuvenated him, which should see him in a good light here; taken seriously.
