Form & Verdict
Third of ten at Market Rasen in April was a lot better than his Fontwell performance in another bumper in May, both on good to soft; half-brother to winners including Torn And Frayed (useful 2m3f-2m5f hurdle/chase) and Pozo Emery (fairly useful 2m3f/2m4f hurdle) so should have potential going jumping.
