Form & Verdict
Placed in all three bumpers, including here on good to soft in April; subsequently third in a pair of 2m4f maiden hurdles over four months apart; weakened to be beaten 33l on soft at Worcester last time but the two ahead of him are useful and this return to around 2m could suit one who tends to race keenly; sets the standard, but not a particularly high one.

He's not the only possible front-runner in this field but he's an improving 7yo who came 15l clear in a small field at Haydock four weeks ago (2m3f, good); a 6lb rise could have been worse and, although this is a lot more challenging, he's in the mix.
