Just one win from 11 starts over hurdles but that came at this track (2m) in May and he was a creditable second behind Jeteye over C&D (good) the following month; now returns after 103 days off but he's unexposed as a stayer and has claims if he can pick up where he left off; yard won this last year.

Came good over hurdles at ninth attempt, beating Dapper Gent in 2m seller here (good to soft) last month; stayed on for respectable sixth of 14 when back in a handicap here (2m, good) later in May but has stamina to prove today.

Form & Verdict
Formerly quite a smart chaser; not as good these days; won a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen in January (2m4f, good to soft) and fair run when third in a Newcastle handicap hurdle two runs back (2m, heavy); not so good in between; should go well but not particularly reliable now.
