Form & Verdict
Pulled up in a chase when warm favourite for stable debut in June and just a respectable fourth when back over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good) this month; very well handicapped on some of his form for Rose Dobbin, though, and may yet come good for Olly Murphy; cheekpieces refitted.

Incredibly consistent on his last four starts, three seconds and a win (all on good between 2m3f and 2m5f) returning an RPR of 100 each time; had course form over hurdles for previous connections and he's a player once again from an unchanged mark.

In good form over C&D this summer since the visor returned, just denied on his June reappearance then going one better 20 days later, and matched those efforts when down in trip and runner-up at Stratford (2m3f) last month off this mark; likely to run well again.
