Form & Verdict
Essentially disappointing since impressing in a 1m2f maiden on last year's reappearance but can be forgiven his comeback run as testing ground doesn't seem to suit him; therefore, could be granted another chance as that was his first start after being gelded and undergoing further wind surgery; unraced beyond 1m4f.

Four-time winner over hurdles but just 1-15 on the Flat; very nearly caused 40-1 surprise over C&D (good) in July and is only 1lb higher today but his stablemate Al Sayah has a much more compelling profile.

Not in much form over fences before finishing tailed off on the Flat in May, but steadied the ship when running respectably from the front back hurdling at Perth (2m4f, good; beaten 7l); stays this far and if as good again he should make presence felt.
