Form & Verdict
Reportedly unsuited by the good to soft ground when well beaten over hurdles here last month but his second over hurdles here (2m4f, good) two starts ago was a pretty good effort, and he reverts to chasing on a good mark; dangerous to ignore.

Made the frame in three of his four races since returning from long layoff this spring, most recently when keeping-on second over C&D (good) 24 days ago; probably won't be far away but others appeal more.

Has won a bumper, a novice handicap hurdle and a novice handicap chase, all at around 2m on good ground; fair third in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham in April when back from a 403-day break (2m4f, good; first run after win surgery); wouldn't rule out.

Suited by return to good ground when placed over hurdles in April but is nothing like the force of old, and returned to fences with an underwhelming run in May; needs subsequent wind op to have made a difference.

Not the force of old but seemed to have benefited from a wind op when close second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July and didn't run as badly as 28l defeat might suggest at Perth (2m4f, good) last time, having made a mid-race jumping error; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added here.

Nine-time chase winner including twice at Cartmel; didn't fire at Worcester in May but that was after a close second at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) and he's a player if he can recapture that form; not ruled out for yard that won this last year.

Form & Verdict
Unseated rider over hurdles last month but was 2-2 over fences for new stable in spring, with both wins at Bangor (2m1f, soft/2m4f, good to soft); hiked up 11lb for beating three rivals on latter occasion and may find 2m on good ground here a bit sharp, but could still be improving.
