Form & Verdict

Brian Hughes was also aboard when winning by 7l at Hexham (2m, good) and it could be that he failed to stay 2m4f when penalised here four weeks ago; entitled to be in the thick of things.

Has only won over 8.6f on the AW and that was over two years ago; still a maiden over hurdles (0-7) but he ran okay in the blinkers at Market Rasen (2m handicap) and won't be far away with something similar.

Divided the now smart chasers Mackenberg and Bavington Bob in a soft-ground bumper at Carlisle in late 2019, so evidently has plenty of ability; changed hands for £20,000 not long afterwards but his debut for this yard has been a long time coming.
