Form & Verdict
Won a bumper for Fergal O'Brien last spring and built upon very promising stable/hurdle debut when scoring comfortably at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in December; jumped poorly and was disappointing odds-on favourite when upped to 2m5f at Hereford in January but will be a tough nut to crack if all goes well here.

Won by 10l winner on hurdle debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in October and he's finished runner-up in all three starts since including a close call at Taunton (2m3f, good) last time; seems versatile ground-wise and he should give it another good shot at this new trip.
