Form & Verdict
0-8 over hurdles but a five-time chase winner with some useful form on his record; ran as though something was a amiss last month, after a break, but will be suited by today's trip/ground and can pose a potent threat if back on song.

A five-time chase winner, he has adapted well since returning to hurdles in cheekpieces, making all at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in June and Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month (fell when holding a clear advantage in between); has a big penalty but will be difficult to keep tabs on.

Ex-Irish 9yo; has very modest 1-47 strike-rate under all codes but bettered low-key stable debut when close second over hurdles here (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and should be fine back over fences.
