Form & Verdict

Going in the right direction and proved suited by the step up in trip when making it third time lucky over hurdles at Stratford (2m2f, good) last month; pedigree suggests this even longer distance will suit; strong contender.

Form & Verdict

Significant promise in bumpers and over hurdles but his career has stalled and, after a long absence, he was a mid-race faller on his chasing debut at Bangor in July; every chance on this return to hurdling if retaining a fair chunk of his ability but arrives here with some questions to answer.
