Has been bang in form on his favoured good ground and only narrowly failed in his hat-trick bid at Kelso last week (3m2f, good); an assured stayer who might hang around for some place money but others are more intriguing.

Heavy defeats this year under rules before something better when 11l second of five in maiden hurdle at Worcester (2m7f, good) five weeks ago; needs another step forward on this chase/handicap debut.

Displayed significant promise in a soft-ground Irish point last year but struggled in a bumper on rules debut in March and was remote when third on hurdling debut at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in May; tongue-tie added.

Shown similar sort of form from the front in his placed efforts at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft) and over C&D 12 days ago; looks sure to be involved if accepting the new cheekpieces.

Placed a few times over hurdles but from off the pace he made no impact whatsoever on his switch to fences in a 2m7f handicap at Lingfield; should be capable of better.

Lightly raced 5yo who reached the frame several times over hurdles including when second at Worcester (2m7f, good) on his penultimate run in August; should have a future over fences and he needs a close look on his handicap/chase debut.

Form & Verdict
Bought for £130,000 after easily winning a 3m Irish point; it's been an underwhelming start under rules and his jumping was novicey when third of four runners at Aintree (2m4f); longer trip should help but others appeal more.
