Form & Verdict
Won three middle-distance AW handicaps in February and kept on best to beat four rivals on hurdling debut at Stratford in June (2m, good to firm; runner-up won there last month); ground slower than good would be new to him but he's an obvious one to consider.

Won three in a row on AW (1m2f/1m4f) in February and he was a creditable second when upped to 1m6f in a Redcar handicap (good to firm) last month; takes on two previous winners on this hurdling debut but he has some fair form on the Flat and he's not ruled out.

3-3 in AW handicaps but record on turf reads 009; made all on his penultimate start and could be interesting if similar tactics are employed, but his suitability to grass remains an issue.

Form & Verdict
Looked useful when winning 6f Ascot novice (soft ground) for Hugo Palmer just under a year ago but this year's Flat form has been very disappointing; last of ten in Class 5 handicap when upped to 8.3f for recent stable debut; has a lot to prove on hurdle debut; tongue-tie fitted.

His form went the wrong way on the Flat but there have been fairly encouraging signs on his first two hurdle starts (2m1f, good to soft/good); holds solid place claims today.
