Form & Verdict
3-8 over hurdles, including a 2m course win; out of sorts in the early part of this season but returned from ten-month absence with quite pleasing run 12 days ago; remains well handicapped and is unexposed over this sort of trip; big player if that recent outing has brought him on.

Back in good form this spring, most notably when keeping on well for narrow win at Warwick (2m3f, good) two starts ago; not yet fully exposed over this sort of trip and probably still on a workable mark; likely contender.

Won over hurdles here (2m4f, good) last spring and he made it third time lucky over fences when landing a C&D handicap (soft) last month; up 5lb but he hit a clear personal with that comfortable win and he's still unexposed at this trip; strong contender.

Form & Verdict
Useful Flat stayer; made bright start to hurdling career in November, winning by 6l at Doncaster (2m, good), but was turned over at short odds on next outing and finished well down the field on subsequent handicap debut; ought to be suited by today's step up in trip but needs the first-time cheekpieces to give him a good boost.
