Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo who won Taunton novice (2m, good to firm) by 11l when fitted with a tongue-tie in April and was not beaten far in valuable novices' handicap at Sandown (2m, good) later that month; had wind op during 177-day break; probably still has potential.

Consistent 9yo who recorded his second win of the campaign at Stratford (extended 2m6f, good) last time, continuing a productive partnership with Isabelle Ryder; this drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience and, despite a 3lb higher mark, he looks set to give another good account.

Beaten a combined 70l in two soft-ground starts over fences but he won his third hurdle race when picking up a 12-runner Ffos Las handicap (2m, good) off this mark nine days ago; 5lb well in on handicap marks if he can transfer that form to chasing and there should be no ground excuses this time.
