Form & Verdict
Well held in three Flat runs (as well as three bumpers) but the stiffer test should suit now handicapping at a lowly level for a yard that's 5-17 with older horses on turf this season; he just wanted to hang left over hurdles when last seen though.

The visor has helped and she finally got off the mark over 11.6f here a fortnight ago (Blue Hero third); tonight's longer trip will be fine and it's largely about whether the headgear keeps working off a 4lb higher mark.
