Form & Verdict
C&D winner (good) last summer when 11lb lower and successfully followed up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good), when 5lb lower; after a successful stint in points, he returned to rules last month equalling his career best when second at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good); up 3lb but likely to remain competitive.

Won two points in April and has finished second on all three starts since returned to racing under rules (2m4f-2m7f, good), most recently in refitted cheekpieces this month; nudged up another 2lb for that but it's reasonable to expect another big run here.

Maiden hurdler but quick to make his mark over fences with C&D success in June and set too much to do when third of ten in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap chase following month; very much one to consider off an unchanged mark.

Failed to win in 11 runs over hurdles (had placed form) but off the mark over fences on just his second attempt, flooring the favourite in a small field at Bangor (extended 2m4f, good; cheekpieces returned); that could prove a springboard to better things; only 1lb higher.
