Form & Verdict
Was proving a disappointment over fences and hurdles until thrashing four rivals in a Market Rasen maiden hurdle last month (made all): hard to know what to make of that but handicapper may have been lenient in his reassessment if the win is a turning point.

Runner-up over hurdles here (2m4f, good; first-time blinkers) on latest rules start last June and competes off a 10lb lower mark today, but his chasing strike-rate is 0-11 and this year's point form is uninspiring.

Maiden; improved form when runner-up over C&D last month and seemed to find extended 3m just beyond him when second again at Southwell; yard's made a good start to the season and this one could add to it.
