Only his third run over fences when forging clear at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) in January; that resulted in a 10lb rise but he was only 9-2 when departing early at Taunton; seemingly on the upgrade.

All the sharper for his Hereford reappearance when making it third time lucky over fences in 2m7f Huntingdon handicap (soft) three weeks ago, forging 15l clear; that resulted in a 10lb rise but he should remain competitive if in the same form.

Form & Verdict
Unpredictable but has won fresh in the past and is a dual Worcester scorer (2m4f-2m7f; at massive prices); struggling when last in competitive action 300 days ago and he's 0-6 at Southwell; it's difficult to have a great deal of confidence.
