Runner-up in conditions race (about 1m3f, good) on final start in Germany but he's better known as a hurdler and gained the latest of four wins in that sphere when taking Listed Aintree event (2m1f, soft) in December; wore cheekpieces when well beaten in Grade 1 this month but could go well switched back to the Flat; yard had a treble at Bangor on Saturday.

Made it 4-6 over hurdles when returning to form with an all-the-way win in a Listed event over C&D (soft) in December; ran to a similar level when runner-up in the Scottish Triumph at Musselburgh in January but this is a much tougher test and he has plenty to find on the figures; cheekpieces added.

Keen-going front-runner who has made the frame on all six hurdling starts, most notably when winning by 8l at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in August; has her limitations but can cope if the ground is good to soft here (untested on anything slower) and ought to make another bold bid.

0-5 on the Flat; won easily at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) before proving no match for a useful juvenile (winner since) back there when penalised (good to soft); free-going tendencies could be an issue should conditions turn testing but fair chance otherwise.

Form & Verdict
Won a claiming hurdle at Fontainebleau (1m7f, very soft) in April for which he carries a penalty; didn't impress with his jumping when a remote second on stable debut at Hexham (good to soft) but probably capable of better than he showed there.

Won twice in May for Ollie Sangster, over 9.4f (AW) and 1m4f (good to firm); of useful ability and ran okay over 1m2f on stable debut (recruited for 40,000gns); should make a hurdler.

Dual Flat winner (AW and turf; 1m1f-1m4f) but form slumped after a promising start for this stable; however, he produced a much-improved effort when runner-up at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) last month on his fourth hurdle start and a repeat of that performance would give him leading claims.
