11yo who was tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in November and pulled up at 100-1 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month on his sole start since; however, the drying conditions are a positive, with his last five wins coming on good ground, and he won two in a row over C&D last autumn to take his winning tally at Kelso to four; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show.

Form & Verdict
Second-season hurdler whose latest effort was better than his reappearance; sole runner on the card for a trainer who is 2-4 with his jumps runners at Catterick, including this one's win last February; suited by good ground and may be about to return to his best; interesting.
