Rampant in sub-3m good-ground hurdle races and chases last summer, and has the beating of Yippee Ki Yay on a line through Macklin, whom he trounced at Exeter last time (3m, good); still fairly lightly raced over this sort of trip, and drying forecast rates a big plus.

Bought out of Olly Murphy's yard for £26,000; on the retreat but had run well when falling three out at Taunton in January and was close up behind respected opposition in his latest point; could go well.

Ran big race in defeat over fences at Warwick (2m, good) in April, after a layoff, and his subsequent fifth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) certainly wasn't a bad effort; recent 4lb drop seems generous; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Seemed to run quite well when second of three two starts ago but generally in very poor form this season; might be boosted by the refitted cheekpieces here (won three times in them last season) but can't be supported with much confidence.
