Won at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in November on final run for Micky Hammond and again ran well when third on recent stable debut there (2m1f, good to soft), where shaping as though this longer trip would be worth exploring.

Two wins for Micky Hammond, the latest a C&D handicap in November (soft; beat That One by 5.5l); progressive sort who should go well on stable debut despite 7lb rise; tongue-tie on for the first time.

Form & Verdict
10yo who is not the force of old but has run pretty well in third over C&D (good to soft/soft) on his last two starts, albeit without seriously threatening the winner Bathgate on either occasion; could build on his latest effort if jumping better; might be thereabouts.

Didn't threaten on his two runs last month (2m/2m3f, heavy/good to soft) but those weren't bad performances and it's possible this half-brother to a 3m-3m2f winner will be suited by the step up in trip; on a reduced mark and he's not discounted in first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces).
