Form & Verdict

Fair hurdler who has finished runner-up in a Newcastle bumper, but has shown just modest form on the Flat; needs to improve on handicap debut.

Showed best form to date when a staying-on fifth over 1m5f on handicap debut here last time (good; Ghostly second); may improve a bit more and worth considering.
