Seemingly aided by addition of cheekpieces when making the frame three consecutive times (2m7f-3m) towards end of last year but still wasn't really firing on all cylinders; should be fine over this shorter trip but the headgear is missing today and he needs to have been refreshed by his three-month break.

Bumper and two-time novice hurdle winner; unable to threaten in his two handicap hurdles but connections waste little time in sending this 5yo over fences and he could improve for the switch to chasing.

Opened chasing account at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month, despite tending to jump left; moves up from Class 5 today but that recent form has been well advertised by the runner-up since and this switch to a left-handed track may enable a better performance.

Form: 232P-3 D

Last run: 23 days

W: 12st 0lb

7 yo Gelding

OR: 108

Form & Verdict
Just one win from his 14 starts but he was an encouraging second on his chase debut at Huntingdon last November, and soft ground may not have suited next time (pulled up); good third back over hurdles on stable debut and he's one to consider now back chasing in a first-time tongue-tie.
