OR: 104

Form & Verdict
Soundly beaten on all three hurdling starts in Ireland and failed to justify good market support when well down the field on last month's stable/handicap debut; however, remains unexposed and it would be dangerous to write him off at this stage.

Dual course winner (2m), who sits 5lb below his last winning mark; finished a remote third to Conquer The Breeze here latest, so it's difficult to work out how he goes about making up such a deficit, even acknowledging more favourable terms.

Back from break with two pretty good efforts this summer, more recently when third in Newton Abbot maiden (2m2f, good) nine days ago; that form isn't anything to go wild about but he has another significant role to play here.
