3m point winner who scored on hurdle debut at Carlisle (2m1f, heavy) in October and, after making the frame in Graded races the next twice, won Newbury novice (2m, heavy) last month when back down in grade; improvement needed on handicap debut but that's possible from this unexposed 6yo, who could prove well suited by this big-field scenario and expected strong pace.

Form & Verdict
All three starts for this yard have been over hurdles at Southwell, placed twice before winning comfortably when 4-7 over 2m4f in May; acts on good to soft, some promise on soft; that's the best hurdles form in this field and he has more to offer, but he gives weight all round and there should be dangers among the newcomers to hurdling.
