Disregard one flop in a downpour and he's been consistent in 2m4f-3m1f hurdles all year, flying home late in third over about 2m5f here latest (good); 0-8 over fences, but some hope if rediscovering the level (mid-90s RPRs) of his earliest chasing form for the previous yard.

Form & Verdict
Just over 3l too good for Fast Deal in scoring over C&D in June (good) and has bettered that form effort in defeat twice since, even as his jumping unravelled at Stratford latest; mark unchanged and player again, all the more so if rediscovering previous fluency; front-runs at present.
