Form & Verdict
Prolific hurdle winner on good ground over last couple of years but out of form when last seen over jumps in the autumn and this year's Flat form has also been disappointing; ran particularly poorly on latest outing (usual cheekpieces absent) and comes here with quite a bit to prove.

Triple hurdle winner and chase winner (2m4f), on good or slower; that chase win came readily on his penultimate start, at Southwell; unable to back that up after a 7lb rise and step up in grade at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) latest; still well treated on his winning effort, if he can repeat it.
