Without a win since 2021 and patently not the force of old but he ran fairly well when fifth at Hexham (1m7f, soft) last month, after a break, and has possibilities if that outing did him good.

Form & Verdict
Rather flat in his last two handicaps over hurdles but showed ability in that sphere and he's still lightly raced; could make a better chaser and cheekpieces are added.

Looked in excellent nick when winning by 5l at Hexham (1m7f, good) in June, and ran well again there from out of the weights in higher-grade race a few days later; suited by this track too and versatile regarding trip; must be considered.
