Form & Verdict
Bumper/hurdle/chase winner; stayed on for close second at Southwell (1m4f, AW; Flat handicap debut) returned to this code five days ago; good chance off same mark with this extra 2f a plus and Hollie Doyle booked; likely to go up a tad in the weights once reassessed.

Didn't jump with fluency but took advantage of ease in grade to justify favouritism in a Leicester seller (2m4f, soft) on penultimate start; toiled back in a handicap (Class 4) at Lingfield latest; this is a tough task, even if returning to this shorter trip may suit.

Form & Verdict
On a handy mark and has form over staying trips, albeit he's yet to win beyond 1m5f; however, recent efforts (over 11.5f/1m4f) don't suggest he's crying out for this return to 1m6f.
