Won a claimer at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in December, then finished a respectable second of four in a novice the following month; however, form eventually tailed off and he was last seen suffering a heavy odds-on defeat in an Exeter seller in April; has since joined Daniel Bourne and change of scenery needs to spark a revival.

Form & Verdict
Didn't need to improve on his hurdling debut second in order to open his account at Fontwell (2m3f, good) with some authority and, although a beaten favourite on last month's handicap debut, that form is working out well with several behind running solid races since; major player off the same mark.

Sole success came in a Fontwell maiden last April; has run with credit on several occasions, such as when third at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; swaps cheekpieces for a visor and shouldn't be far away.

Form & Verdict
Soft-ground winner as a 2yo for Aidan O'Brien; back to best hurdle form when a staying-on close third of six at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) in March in first-time cheekpieces (retained); makes his handicap debut off what appears a fair mark.

Won a maiden at Market Rasen in July and a novice at Hexham the following month over around 2m4f but form has dipped since handicapping on his last two starts; blinkers replace cheekpieces on this drop in distance and he needs to be taken seriously in this low grade.

Scored in first-time cheekpieces at Bangor (2m3f, soft) in December and put a lesser run behind him when winning in first-time blinkers there (2m1f, soft) in February; it's hard to predict how well he'll perform in refitted cheekpieces but the forecast good ground won't be a problem.

Form & Verdict
Mostly below best since scoring over fences at Stratford (2m6f, soft) in October but was in contention when falling two out Ludlow in February; likely still as effective over hurdles, but the drop back to this trip against some improvers may leave him vulnerable.

7-39, with three wins over hurdles, but he's hard to predict and was badly out of sorts in the autumn; unseated early on last month's return and reverts to hurdles off his last winning mark, but it's difficult to know what to expect.
