Form & Verdict
Three wins since August (2m/2m1f, good to firm-good to soft) and his fine form continued when second of 15 at Stratford (2m2f, good) most recently; unproven on soft ground; every chance he'll be bang there once more.

This time last year he was in a terrific run of form over hurdles and well treated on most of that; however, hasn't approached the same level this summer (hurdles/fences) and has much to prove all of a sudden.

Could be his two Worcester runs this summer (chase debut latest) were both needed; last year's purple patch of form started in the second half of August, so he remains of interest on that basis.

Form & Verdict
There has been the odd fair run over fences, over hurdles and on the Flat this year but he has a patchy profile nowadays and is 6lb out of the handicap here; it's probably best to look elsewhere.

He's below his winning mark and he caught the eye of the stewards when keeping on for a near-14l sixth of 14 behind Lucky Lover Boy at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last time out; he may pose more of a threat today but he's won just one of his 24 hurdle starts and others are more compelling.
