Inconsistency a feature in his profile so whether he'll back up his recent second at Worcester (2m7f, good) remains to be seen; clearly has a chance if he can.

Returned to form to win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and again ran well when fourth there (2m4f, good) last month; stays this far and is effective on soft ground; goes well for Benjamin Macey, with form figures of 29214, and he could have a part to play.

Form & Verdict
Lost his way last season but goes well fresh and returned from a break with a win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good), the front two coming clear; 3lb rise isn't too damaging and he can hold his form.

Five-time hurdle winner, including over 2m5f here in October when ridden by Isabelle Ryder, form which gives him a solid chance; beaten 35l at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and needs to bounce back but he's won off a similar break in the past.

Form & Verdict
Useful Flat racer who was off the mark over hurdles at the fifth attempt when long odds-on for a 2m maiden at Worcester; that told us nothing but, given his Flat ability, he should be well treated for this handicap debut.

Began to look exposed in the second half of last year but he showed improved form to win at Kempton (2m, good) on March 23 and was short-headed at Ludlow (2m, good) last Monday; he should be fine now back up in trip and could again be thereabouts.
