Form & Verdict

Took to fences immediately at Stratford (2m7f, good; RPR 117), and a 4lb rise for that narrow success isn't excessive; missed a subsequent engagement here due to soft ground, so the wet forecast has to be a worry.

Somewhat similar to Zero Tolerance, being an exposed sort whose chase record is 0-8; the difference is that he's a five-time hurdles winner, most recently off 5lb higher at Wetherby (2m3f) in October; recent form suggests this drop in trip is worth exploring; interesting back here.

Showed improved form when stepping up to 3m to land his sixth success over hurdles, over C&D (good to soft) in February and followed up at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; remains unexposed as a stayer and holds strong claims to land a three-timer.
