Second run for current yard when 6-4 favourite for handicap debut in six-runner amateurs' race over C&D one week ago, winning very easily by 8l after going clear over 2f out; dropped back to 1m2f at Newcastle on Friday and came only fifth, but he may well be worth another chance now back up in trip.

Three-time Flat winner has run well in defeat in maiden hurdles this year, including over C&D; below form in an Aintree handicap last time, but this isn't as competitive and he is one to consider.

travelled strongly, in touch with leaders, went third before 5th, went second and going best 2 out, shaken up and led approaching last, kept on, ridden out (trainer's rep said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding had come back into form on the Flat where he has run four times since his last hurdles run and appeared to transfer that improvement back over hurdles)
