Resurgent on AW in early part of this year, winning six times including over C&D; opened hurdling account in May and he had an excuse on slow ground when returned to the Flat at Hamilton in June; now drops back in grade after a break and he needs a close look returned to AW.

Two wins on AW this year, with first over C&D in April and latest at Lingfield (AW) last month; disappointing back at this track last time but he may have done too much too soon and he's capable of bouncing back; in the mix for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict
Struggled in bumpers and on the Flat in first six starts but he looked a different proposition when scoring on stable debut here (9.4f classified) on Saturday; that was a shock at 66-1 but he surged clear in the closing stages and is open to more progress back in a handicap; big player under penalty.

Not the easiest and plenty of short-priced defeats to his name but he won at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month and was a creditable third in another classified event at Lingfield (1m2f) three weeks ago; remains unexposed on turf and he needs a close look back in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
0-11 but he finished runner-up three times during the summer and was a fair fourth off 2lb higher at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) when last seen in October; seems pretty versatile trip-wise and he's respected back from a short break.
