Form & Verdict
This Flat winner added a juvenile hurdle last season; runner-up on chase debut at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) in November and the cheekpieces he wore that day were replaced by a tongue-tie when beaten further at Haydock; now wears both aids and he's of interest, for all that his stamina isn't proven.

Back down in grade with blinkers tried he registered a second chase win when 6l to the good at Bangor (2m4f, good); 6lb rise has elevated him to a career-high mark but it was comfortable last time.
