Form & Verdict
Justified good support when off the mark over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) in May and, after a solid second next time, doubled his tally over 2m4f here last time despite meeting interference; up 6lb and comes back in trip but he's open to further progress and this looks a good opportunity.

Maiden prior to his marked improvement over fences (on good ground) this May-September, including three wins and the first was at this track; he didn't fare so well at Uttoxeter 11 days ago but that was still up with his best form; not dismissed.

Ran his best race for a while when 8l third of six at Worcester (2m, good) and effectively 3lb lower today; not discounted but this longstanding maiden has a patchy profile and needs to back up that latest effort.

Form & Verdict
3-12 over hurdles, latest in May off 4lb higher in this headgear combination, but has gone backwards since and was soundly beaten on both starts following wind surgery and a switch to fences; on a good mark and Harry Atkins' claim helps, so not completely ruled out if rediscovering some spark.
