Form & Verdict
Safely held on first two hurdling starts, but last month's clear second at Hereford (2m3f, good) was quite a bit better; almost certainly needs to improve again on this handicap debut but has the potential.

Suited by good ground; 0-5 since switched to fences but posted a solid effort, behind a subsequent scorer, at Hereford (3m1f) most recently; defied a 3lb higher mark last April for sole hurdles success; could well open his chase account.

Very mixed hurdle form, best efforts when winning an Ascot maiden nearly two years ago and, following wind surgery, when going close at Chepstow (also 2m3f, good) last April; form plunged again at Plumpton in November, though, and now has cheekpieces added; risky.
