Form & Verdict
Inconsistent on the Flat and over hurdles last year and he's going into the unknown stamina-wise, being unraced beyond an extended 2m3f; however, he stays well on the Flat (has won over 2m here) and it's possible the trip will suit; not discounted.

10yo who has regressed and looked beaten when hampered and unseating three out at Southwell last time on his second stable start; however, he continues to drop down the weights and is now 18lb lower than when second at Ludlow (3m, soft) last January; not ruled out in a weak-looking race.

Won at Southwell (3m2f, good) last May and runner-up at Cartmel (3m1f, good/good to soft) the next twice; of interest on that form and he's run well on heavy ground in the past, but he has to perform better than he managed on his two runs at the end of last year.
