Form & Verdict
Struggles to win (3-52) but he's consistent and his latest third over C&D was in a higher grade; should go well again provided the switch to a visor from his usual blinkers doesn't backfire.

Needs to bounce back from a disappointing performance three weeks ago but was in good form over 3m beforehand, and is now 1lb lower than when second here in July; a possible if combination of drop back in trip and addition of cheekpieces aids his cause.

Hurdle winner in February 2021 for Gordon Elliott; had his troubles since and, after finishing second in a 2m4f British point, he was tailed off on his return to chasing at Market Rasen (2m3f, good); hasn't shone over 3m in the past.

After a break he was an improved second at Uttoxeter in May and then went one better without much fuss at Southwell (3m, good); tongue-tie tried last time is retained and he could still be well handicapped off 6lb higher.
