In a consistent run of form when last seen in November, mostly hooded but also in just a tongue-tie last time; this mark is very manageable but he does lack a recent run.

Form & Verdict
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.

Made all here in January and now 2-4 over fences after repeating the dose when odds-on in a weak three-runner race at Southwell (again on soft); 6lb higher for this but it's another modest contest and this drier ground should be fine.

Running a big race when falling three out on chase debut at Exeter (2m3f, heavy) in December and confirmed that promise when making all at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) nine days ago; also effective on good to soft ground; a 7lb penalty may not stop this unexposed mare; wears first-time tongue-tie.
