Tailed off in a bumper and three hurdles races from 2m to 2m5f; enters handicaps with an awful lot to prove and principally of interest due to his connections.

Showed only minor promise when a big-priced outsider for first two hurdle runs (2m/2m3f) and will probably be of greater interest when qualified for low-grade handicaps.

Form & Verdict
Exactly two years since his Worcester bumper success (2m, good) and unable to build on that form effort to any extent on either sighting since; jumps winners from 2m-2m6f in immediate family, and precise requirements over hurdles at this stage may take a race or two to become clear.

Only outpaced on the final turn in at Hereford last time (2m, good; beaten 16l), serving notice that today's longer sort of trip is closer to present optimum; likelier one for handicaps after this.

Finished a remote fourth over 2m3f here in February before taking a backward step when tailed off at Exeter (extended 2m5f, good) two weeks ago when tried in a hood (retained), both times ridden by a 7lb claimer; still lightly raced but needs to step up considerably.

The odd whiff of ability in light career; left the Newland/Insole stable for 1,000gns last July and finished third in a maiden point in November on his only start since; insubstantial claims on handicap debut but his stable won a handicap last Sunday with its first hurdles runner of the season.

Weakening late effort on both hurdles starts thus far, but still recorded another big personal best RPR last time in an appreciably warmer Cheltenham contest (2m4.5f, good); can make the drop in class count.

Mixed form last season; peak efforts included third at Market Rasen (2m2f) on Boxing Day and second off this mark at Hereford in April latest; not guaranteed to back that up but he's in the mix if repeating that effort with cheekpieces now added.

Consistent all of last term other than on genuinely soft ground, but March's Plumpton handicap third (2m5f, good) on his first outing following wind surgery was a fifth podium finish of the season without converting any; vulnerable again to anything more upwardly mobile.

In the frame all six starts since switch to chasing in the autumn, including course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; ran big race when second (albeit well held in the end) over 2m5f here last month; strong claims if stamina holds out over this longer trip.

Still needs to learn to jump better under late pressure, but this month's Newton Abbot 3l second (2m1f, good) rates his closest finish yet in this discipline; need for longer trip assumed rather than proven.

Well down the pecking order in his top yard but opened his hurdles account in Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good; beat a subsequent scorer) most recently and may build on that solid success; respected.

Quite useful on the Flat in France last year; 0-7 and generally disappointing over hurdles but the form of his close third at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) two starts ago reads quite well, and his top trainer has an excellent strike-rate (6-14) with his occasional Sedgefield runners.
