Form & Verdict
Perth chase success 17 days ago (2m, good; RPR 97) rates career-best form across all spheres, and the 10lb rise for that could have been far worse; smuggled into that race before coming late, and a similar tactic might reap dividends in a line-up well stocked with pacesetters.

Four wins (a hurdle and three chases) from first seven starts for this stable last year; yet to recapture that form since returning from a break in February but his fourth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in April was a big step back in the right direction and today's much quicker ground should also suit.
