Most wins and best form are over fences and he ran pretty well at Exeter last month; the time before, in October, he won a small-field handicap hurdle at Exeter off his much lower hurdle mark (now 3lb higher); could have some part to play.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in two good-ground hurdles for Ed De Giles in summer 2021 (2m maiden/2n4f handicap) and may not have been suited by the heavy ground when making British chasing debut for new stable in February; has fitness to prove after 220-day absence but lurks on a tempting mark.
