Form & Verdict

Highly encouraging recent chasing debut at Bangor (2m4f, good) following 475 days out, beaten by only a Skelton 4yo who's since completed a four-timer; still retains low mileage and good case off same mark.

Dual 2m4f hurdles winner; off 15 months, shaped as if needing the run when a well-held sixth of seven on her first go over fences in 2m4f Bangor handicap 27 days ago; this low-mileage 7yo can take a step forward.

Almost a year off before this March; has not matched earlier promise in this year's five races, switched to handicapping for last three; appeared over C&D last two and made most when connections turned to blinkers last time but his third of ten that day was a well-beaten one; now tries a visor.

Has struggled to recapture his earlier promise since returning from almost a year off in March and has made little impact in two handicap starts this summer, most recently when pulled up over C&D three weeks ago; may be capable of better but first-time blinkers need to prove a positive addition.
