Form & Verdict

Bumper winner; made quite promising seasonal/hurdle debut when sixth at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) in November but he's been disappointing since, including on his handicap debut at Taunton (first run after wind surgery) last month; still lightly raced but he has questions to answer.
