Form & Verdict

Seen only twice last season, latterly when running very poorly on chasing debut in February, and reverts to hurdling with some questions to answer but has, at times, shown considerable promise; good market support will make him of strong interest.

0-6 over hurdles but made the frame in a quite valuable series final at Musselburgh (2m1f, good to soft) on handicap debut in March and was very respectable fourth of 15 on soft ground at Kelso last month; a player.

Ex-Irish maiden; made quite promising stable debut in early October but has not built upon that performance on his three subsequent appearances; recent 6lb drop helps, but he still needs to raise his game.

Placed off 3lb higher mark for Nicky Henderson on handicap debut in May (2m, good) but has struggled on both outings for current stable this autumn (3m/2m) and needs the added headgear to make a big difference today.
