Form & Verdict
Kept on for modest third on Irish point debut in May (yielding to soft); it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth but he makes his rules debut in a run-of-the-mill contest; market may guide.

Tailed off when back over hurdles at Sedgefield last month and something to prove after that; however, he's 2lb lower than for his ready win over fences here (2m7f, good to soft) in December and shouldn't be discounted.

Point winner (3m); slightly disappointing since finishing runner-up on hurdles debut at Carlisle (2m3f novice; 11-8 favourite) in December; had seemingly run his race - on the retreat on handicap debut - in the voided race over 2m4f here this month; still low mileage.

0-5 over hurdles and has sometimes raced a bit too freely but looked suited by switch to patient tactics when third at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in March; further progress is possible if forecast faster ground suits here.

Quite promising bumper debut when fifth of 13 at Doncaster (good) in January but his next two bumper runs were very disappointing and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this seasonal/hurdle debut.
