Lightly raced 9yo; all good over hurdles since joining this yard, producing form figures of 11213 in staying handicaps; his mark has taken a hit but this dual point winner could easily make a chaser.

Arrested his decline when placed at Bangor (2m3f, good) in September and will be fine over today's longer trip but his recent Kempton run was underwhelming and others in this field have much more appealing profiles.

Form & Verdict
Ground it out from the front over 3m at Southwell (good) and the shorter trip of 2m6f on a tighter track perhaps found him out at Stratford since; still lightly raced and unlikely that he's handicapped out of it (6lb above his win).
