Reportedly unsuited by the good to soft ground when well beaten over hurdles here last month but his second over hurdles here (2m4f, good) two starts ago was a pretty good effort, and he reverts to chasing on a good mark; dangerous to ignore.

Largely out of form over fences since winning at Newton Abbot in April last year but showed more spark back over hurdles when a staying-on third at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month under Richard Upton off this mark; back down in trip but could be involved if repeating that effort.
