Hold up sort; 3-21 over hurdles; latest win at Gowran in November over 2m4f off 88; won over this C&D off 81 earlier that month; okay efforts the last thrice but may be in handicapper's grip for now. |

Won readily off today's mark at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) in November and is unexposed over staying trips, but was not firing on all cylinders when last seen in the spring; needs to have been refreshed by 108-day break. |

No reason to recommend on strength of modest efforts this year at Chepstow and Hexham (twice); however, the handicapper has cut him some slack, and he sits just 1lb higher than when winning readily at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) last November; best form is on soft/heavy. |

Some decent placed form over fences last year, most notably when 6.5l second to Kyle Valley at Tramore (2m6f, yld) in handicap chase off 79 in May; proved he's in good heart when runner-up in point-to-point last month so he could figure. |

Scored at the 25th attempt at Exeter (2m5f, good) last month and ran well off 6lb higher when runner-up back there under identical conditions ten days later; this hold-up performer could go well again but his overall record makes him a risky proposition for win purposes. |
