Improvement needed based on what he's shown in two bumpers and three maiden hurdles but there's potential in his pedigree and he's travelled from Devon to make his handicap debut; interesting, especially if well backed.

Returned to form at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) on Wednesday, when he was reeled in after blasting off in front but kept on gamely for second; also suited by this C&D and a recent 2lb drop has now taken effect but he had a hard race at Perth and has become inconsistent.

Veteran; 12-94, four of those wins coming at his beloved Perth; showed up well for much of the contest at Hexham (2m, soft; third, beaten 33l) on Saturday evening, before tiring markedly on the uphill climb; the better ground is in his favour here but this is a quick turnaround.

13l ahead of Cumhacht when third in a Windsor novice handicap which has worked out well (2m, good); Sedgefield third since again gave the impression he needs more of a test, and although slightly back down in trip here he's granted a galloping 2m and slow ground for the first time; chance.
