Form & Verdict
Little show in a handful of runs over hurdles; tongue tied and took a major step forward though when impressively landing 2m Worcester handicap on her chasing debut five days ago; reverts to hurdling off the same mark and holds leading claims with headgear retained.

Won seven in a row (four chases, three hurdles) when fitted with a tongue-tie in the spring; pulled up in August, having bled from the nose, but is unexposed over this sort of trip and could still have more improvement to come if back on song.

Gained a first win over 2m here in March and has continued in good form, runner-up in 2m4f Ffos Las handicap four weeks ago; that form has been well advertised since so he must enter calculations despite 2lb rise.

Rain welcomed as the ground was soft when making all at Southwell in March (2m) but beaten 11l and 23l in his subsequent races in new cheekpieces; dropped 3lb for those, so only 4lb above his win; wouldn't be a certain stayer over this far.

Ever more temptingly handicapped, and still doing some okay late work behind the uncontainable Beorma over Southwell's 2m4f last time; previous tribulations in two Cornish points and one other staying hurdle temper enthusiasm ahead of this step back up in trip, however.
