Progressive for new stable, winning four times, until form dipped sharply in last two outings; has seemingly gone off the boil and may be in the assessor's grip now to boot.

Form & Verdict
Ten-race maiden; two fair runs over fences, over 2m7f at Chepstow (heavy) and last time over 2m4f on testing ground at Uttoxeter; well beaten over hurdles on last two runs at 2m but is worth another crack at this sort of trip.
