Came second in a low-grade handicap hurdle in May but his two Flat wins for William Haggas last year came in plating company and he needs to prove he's worth his current mark in this sphere.

Needed sellers to win on the Flat for William Haggas; four runs over hurdles, the standout being his 7l third in a juvenile race at Stratford; struggled since, latterly on handicap debut.

Signed off for William Haggas with a brace of selling wins (1m3f/1m2f) on the Flat late last summer; three goes over hurdles but his fair third at Stratford (about 2m2f, soft) in March wasn't matched either side of it; will need to have his Stratford hat on for this handicap debut but it's still early days and that's possible.

Won two 1m2f turf handicaps in May and has held his form pretty well since; drops back in trip after looking stretched by 1m4f three weeks ago; not favoured by the weights but likely to give another good account.

Won two in a row on turf in May (1m2f) and in the main has run pretty well in defeat subsequently; also effective on Tapeta; goes into the unknown stamina-wise today but could be thereabouts if seeing out the trip.

0-8; second of 10 at Doncaster (1m2f, good) in July but below that level since, including when third of four over 1m2f here five weeks ago; the first-time visor needs to spark him back up.

Form & Verdict
Placed on handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m6f, soft) in June, form that gives him a good chance on the figures, but two disappointing efforts have followed, the latter when over 17l behind Forever Penywern in 1m3f Goodwood seller.
