Came good for current stable at Hexham (2m, good) last month, his second run in cheekpieces; up 4lb to career-high mark but will be suited by this move back up in trip and is evidently in good nick.

Didn't see out 3m when well-held third at Doncaster (good to soft) in March but ran well for a long way and is now back on same mark as for his clear second behind a useful rival there (2m3f, soft) in November; also suited by good ground; could be a tough nut to crack if aided by new cheekpieces.

RPRs have been improving gently since sent handicap chasing, and a better jump at the last may have seen him oblige at Newcastle latest (3m, good to soft); won't mind good ground, having won an Irish point on it.

Maiden point winner who is 0-9 under rules; however, best form when switched to chasing for handicaps at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) and Wetherby (3m, soft) on last two outings and he may well be on the premises.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in a point and also two maiden hurdles (2m7f, good/good to soft); disputing the lead (albeit driven) when falling three out in Ludlow maiden (3m, good to soft) last time; the drop back in trip may not be an obvious positive but he holds leading form claims.

Not devoid of promise at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) last month on her second start and there's room for improvement in her jumping, but she was well beaten and others have stronger gallop.
