Form & Verdict
Odds-on winner at Fontwell in a bumper on soft and a maiden on good; chasing this season (after wind surgery) and his latest effort was much the best of those; however, he returns to hurdles over a trip that could stretch him (unraced beyond an extended 2m4f).

Course bumper and hurdle winner who won Plumpton handicap hurdle off 18lb higher last April; subsequent starts over fences didn't go well and he resumes chase career having been well held over hurdles on last three starts.

He's had a disappointing season, initially over fences and more recently over hurdles, and has something to prove; however, he's now 10lb lower than when winning over C&D (good) last April and can't be written off; monitor the betting.

Largely out of form for an Irish stable last year and ought to have coped better with the soft ground when well-held fourth behind Mr Griffiths on last month's stable debut at Warwick (3m2f); sports refitted cheekpieces today, though, and may yet stage a revival for Olly Murphy.

Second in a maiden here (2m4f) in December, since which he's been pulled up in a maiden at Cheltenham and the EBF Final (handicap) at Sandown; doesn't look on that good a mark but it's still quite early days and his yard is bang in form.

Form & Verdict
2-4 in handicaps; beaten a long way in the two defeats but appeared sweetened up by the new cheekpieces when coasting home in front at Bangor (extended 2m3f, good) nine days ago and a 7lb rise could have been worse; the big question mark hangs over today's much longer trip, but he's clearly a strong contender if he can see it out.
