Form & Verdict

Lightly raced and his only real blip came in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham; placed in two 1m7f hurdles at Leicester (soft/heavy) and trainer soon sends him handicapping; respected.

Form & Verdict

Some useful form in strong juvenile hurdles when with Olly Murphy; not far away in two handicap chases for this yard and by no means ruled out back over hurdles, for all that Sam Twiston-Davies rides the yard's other one.

Only 5lb higher than when winning a 2m handicap chase at Ludlow by 20l in November and backed that up with a second there; below par last time but he's effective over hurdles under these conditions.

Narrowly justified favouritism in a 2m4f handicap at Southwell (good; seems to handle soft) and his following defeat there 11 days later perhaps came too soon; should be better for a break and he's on a fair mark.
