Form & Verdict
Seemed to be treading water over hurdles but wind surgery was a catalyst for an improved effort and a breakthrough win at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) last month; should have no problem with today's longer trip; more progress needed but that's possible.

T: Ian Duncan

His first run at about 3m when winning at Newcastle (good to soft) and then ran second at Warwick; latest Musselburgh run wasn't too shoddy given he was held up off the pace before staying on and he reportedly bled that day; had a break since and wouldn't be fully exposed as a stayer.

Relished the step up in trip to make a winning handicap debut at Newcastle (3m, good to soft) in November; good second at Ayr (3m, soft) one month ago but position 3lb out of the handicap demands more from him today; claiming rider is recruited.

Yet to make the frame in two bumpers or a novice hurdle (2m, good; 25-1); lots to find on form but he's stoutly bred and today's big step up in distance looks a positive move.

Improved in Irish points last year, dead-heating for first in November; that form looks modest but he's joined an in-form yard and must be considered on rules debut, especially if the market speaks in his favour.
