Form & Verdict

His mark continues to fall and he's run well over C&D in the past; fair second of seven over 3m5f at Fakenham in May but he needs to produce more than was the case when sixth of nine over this C&D last time.

Form & Verdict

Won a point and two novice hurdles in the winter, and following a break he ran creditably in May on first two chase/handicap starts (2m3f/2m, good); this lightly raced 6yo remains open to improvement for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict

He's flopped on two of his last three starts but in between was a good second of four here (2m, good to soft), and he's also effective over 2m4f and on good ground; not written off.
