Form & Verdict
Hasn't taken to hurdling so most of his recent efforts can be forgiven; he drops into 0-50 classfied company for the first time but a record of 0-18 still suggests that others are more likely.

J: Sean D Bowen

Won a 1m4f AW classified at Wolverhampton in March and so nearly won another at Lingfield 15 days later; pulled up over hurdles in May on his only start since but a return to form can't be ruled out, so neither can he.

Four modest runs over hurdles and endured a heavy defeat in handicap company; however, returns to this scene on the back of two competitive runs in 1m4f classified races on the AW, so at least he's in good nick.

Made the most of the drop in class when winning a similar race by a short head here (9.5f) 15 days ago; still has stamina to prove despite being a winning hurdler, but still more appealing than many.

Won twice in June, here over 1m2f and over this trip at Musselburgh; put two lesser runs behind him when second at the latter track (1m5f, good) in July but found the drop back to 1m1f against him there four weeks ago; steps back up in trip with claims.

Landed his fourth course win in a 0-60 handicap over this trip eight days ago, ending a 22-race losing run; only had a neck to spare and has a 4lb penalty to carry but he still makes plenty of appeal back at this level.
