Two point wins this spring; runner-up in hunter chase on stable debut at Cartmel in May but was a remote fourth in a novice hurdle here (2m4f, good) last month; still very early days under rules but he needs improvement upped to 3m on handicap debut; cheekpieces are removed and hood returns.

Form & Verdict
One win from first 30 hurdle runs but he doubled his tally when scoring over C&D (good to firm) last month, left clear when the leader fell at the last but was looking a big danger and was strong at the finish; up 4lb but still feasibly treated and won't mind what the weather does; shortlisted.

Gamely made all to open account over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) six weeks ago, his third start over fences; might improve again but several fences were omitted in that rather unsatisfactory race, and he'll have something to prove if the ground is slower than good today.
