Form & Verdict
Completed a four-timer across both codes last spring when with Brian Barr (Flat win was over C&D, good to soft; 6lb higher mark); handicapper caught up with him thereafter; signs of a revival over hurdles latest but this still looks a stiff task based on Flat form.

Got back on the scoresheet with an emphatic win in classified event at Lingfield (11.6f) in June; ran to similar level when runner-up over C&D last month but his form has nosedived in last two runs; now drops back in grade but has a bit to prove again and he's a frequent slow starter.

Used to be a notorious slow starter but he's been a bit better in that department since the summer and it was a solid effort in this headgear combination when second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; stayed on from the rear when third in an amateur riders' race over that C&D 12 days later; this is a notch above the standard he regularly contests, though.
