Form & Verdict

Improved with each of his first three runs in the spring, finishing sixth at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in April when last seen; he needs another step forward on this handicap debut but his pedigree indicates the step up in trip will be a positive, and he wears first-time cheekpieces; could go well.

He's finished fourth on both hurdle starts and isn't obviously well treated for his handicap debut, but this point (3m) and bumper winner is from a staying family his trainer has done very well with and he could relish the step up in trip; interesting, especially if well backed.
