132-rated hurdler, although only a maiden win to his name, and decent stayer on the Flat as well, third in last season's Cesarewitch; has been hard to place over hurdles, front-running sixth over 2m6f at Galway last time; not bred for this game and stiff task on chasing debut. |

Poor strike-rate (two maiden wins) in Flat and hurdling spheres and he went the wrong way in his latest hurdles campaign; however, he ran well in two major Flat handicaps last season, including when third to Beylerbeyi in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm); 3lb higher today but 7lb claimer Harry Vigors is booked; like so many, he has each-way hopes. |
