Form & Verdict
Returned to form with a second at Chepstow (1m4f) last month and he built on that when winning eased down over same C&D last Friday; escapes a penalty for that clearcut success and he's a major player again if he copes with this new trip; has won on good to soft and good to firm.

Dual-purpose performer who added to his AW win when scoring over hurdles (2m, good to soft) in December; never involved back on the Flat at Chester (1m4f, good to firm) last month but he's still unexposed in this sphere and looks a possible improver at this new trip; one to keep an eye on.
