Form & Verdict

Dual Flat/hurdles winner who belied his market position (20-1 outsider of four) in C&D novice chase last month, taking well to fences at the first attempt; the bare form of that win suggests a 9lb rise is manageable back at handicap level; respected.

Form & Verdict

Sole win came over hurdles in 2016; largely poor form since and latest defeat took his chase record to 0-14; impossible to fancy from 59lb out of the weights.
