Form & Verdict
Fair ex-Irish bumper performer who has been brought along steadily for his current yard, a never-dangerous seventh in 2m Southwell handicap hurdle 23 days ago; it would come as no surprise if he takes a big step forward now upped markedly in trip with tongue tie added.

Returned from layoff with two poor performances last month but his fourth behind Red Panda at Worcester (2m7f, good) three weeks ago was much more encouraging and he's now 4lb lower than for last year's 3m Perth win; big player if first-time cheekpieces help him to build on that recent effort.
