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.

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.

Kept to AW in the main nowadays and winless since last March; however, he ran well last August when he last tackled turf and the return of cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) may well be in his favour; also has a first-time tongue-tie; could be involved.

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.
