Form & Verdict
Bought for £28,000 after finishing third in a Kelso bumper; both his runs over hurdles for new yard were 2m in the mud, coming second of 11 to an impressive winner in maiden at Worcester four weeks ago; came from off the pace that day and has to be of interest upped in trip for handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Went the wrong way in his three chasing starts but down the weights in this sphere as well and was far more competitive when returned to hurdling at Market Rasen 18 days ago; that was his fourth second in this sphere (sole win was in a bumper) and he should be a big player again.

Added to his three Flat wins in Ireland when scoring over hurdles in December; respectable second in a selling hurdle at Exeter (2m2f, good) last month and he's not ruled out off a dangerous mark back in this sphere following another hurdle win at Fontwell yesterday.
