Form & Verdict
Dual bumper winner last season and has made the frame on all four hurdling starts this term, most recently when fourth in Taunton handicap (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; today's longer trip won't be a problem and he ought to play a major role now back in novice company.

Peak hurdling RPRs around Hereford and Kempton bode well with another flat right-hander awaiting him; last-time success over 2m5f at the latter venue is the furthest he's gone so far, and dual-purpose pedigree isn't abundant with stayers, but he'd be unfazed by a dryout.
