Form & Verdict
Recent form figures make grim reading but he's very much a good ground specialist and has plenty of form which gives him decent claims; not written off in a hurry and Rob Hargreaves taking off 8lb no hardship either.

Unraced since a hurdles win in May 2023; looked a good-ground specialist in that sphere and his Flat win on soft was in 2020 in his French days.

Dual winning hurdler on good ground (2m/2m3f) but tailed off when trying 2m5f on soft at Christmas and non-completions on both starts this spring; now reverts to Flat, in which sphere he has appeared in three 2m handicaps but not achieved much; down the weights.

Placed in five of eight starts for this stable without managing a win; runner-up at Sedgefield in January (in a visor) and definitely prefers good or quicker ground; could figure but others probably better treated.

Has run creditably on most starts this season without really suggesting he's about to add to his sole hurdling win, gained at Sandown 14 months ago (four ran); may have to settle for minor honours again.

Life's been exciting for him in three starts this year; scrambled home at Kempton two starts ago and would have finished much closer there recently but for a slipping saddle; going back left-handed could help; considered.
