Form & Verdict
Winning pointer; well behind Minella Blueway on his hurdling debut but has raised his game since then, finishing second in a 3m maiden and then going close on handicap debut at Exeter (2m5f, heavy); likeable type who should appreciate this return to further.

Won the 3m novice handicap chase on this card 12 months ago (good to soft) when 5lb lower and he produced a similar effort to finish second at Plumpton in January (3m1f, soft); however, this race demands a career best and on the back of a laboured display at Ludlow.

Won this race in first-time cheekpieces a year ago (soft ground) and followed up in valuable event at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) last March; made disappointing start to current campaign but last month's second of four at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) was much better and his current mark ought to be workable; respected.
