Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
Showed some ability in a bumper on debut but little impact hurdling until much improved under forcing tactics to win here over 2m4f last month (Mount Shenshan well beaten), surviving some sketchy jumping; second and third have run well since so form looks strong and 8lb rise may not prevent a follow up.
