Form & Verdict
Low-mileage 7yo who built upon his promising chasing debut when clearcut winner at Catterick (3m1f, soft) in January; unseated rider at first fence on next outing and was slightly disappointing when well-held fourth on latest appearance but should be fine on today's ground (point winner on good to firm) and remains of interest.

Form & Verdict
Safely held in three slow-ground hurdles since returning from long absence in February but he travelled well for a long way on the second occasion and faced a tough task in a competitive race last time; sure to be suited by the return to good ground for this chasing debut; swaps blinkers for first-time cheekpieces; worth a second look.
