Form & Verdict
Bought for £55,000 after finishing second in an Irish point but he's been well held in his three runs over hurdles thus far, a never-dangerous seventh of 12 in Wincanton novice (15f) 37 days ago; this longer trip should suit though so he's no forlorn hope now going handicapping.

J: Sean Houlihan

A three-time 2m chase winner last season but he's offered precious little this term, tried in blinkers when pulled up on his last two runs at Ludlow and Exeter either side of Christmas; his mark is plummeting but it's still easy to look elsewhere.

Bagged a fourth success of the season at Chepstow (2m3f) in February; seemed unsuited by dropping back to 2m when a solid fourth of ten at Hereford 13 days ago and not out of things over this more suitable distance.

Won three in a row in November/December (2m3f-2m4f) and scored at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in February; well-held fourth eight days later at Ffos Las, possibly finding the quick turnaround too much; may resume progress, though the drop in trip is a slight concern.
