Made it 6-17 over fences with his brave win at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; flopped in his follow-up bid at Huntingdon (pulled up) but he's only 1lb higher than for that penultimate run and he won here in the summer; player if he can bounce back.

Dual chase winner this season, latterly when battling on well at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; nudged up only 1lb for that and has a course hurdle win on his CV; ought to be right in the thick of things.

Form & Verdict
Went up 9lb for beating three rivals at Huntingdon in April but that seemed to tell when he was third, beaten 11l, behind Heartbreak Kid over C&D three weeks ago; work to do but probably capable of better.

Twice runner-up in novice hurdles in March but no joy over fences and well beaten in C&D handicap on final start for Jane Williams in April; blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) tried on stable debut and market instructive.
