Form & Verdict
Pulled up over 2m4f here on stable debut in June but in good form over 2m since, most notably when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July; chased home a progressive rival over C&D this month and remains on the same mark; must be considered.

Belatedly opened his Flat account in June and was also on target when back over hurdles last month, at Hexham (2m, good); 5lb higher in a better race today but also has form over C&D and is evidently in good nick.
