Form & Verdict

Readily won a Stratford seller (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) last year, since when he's been placed seven times across both codes; best chase effort came over 2m1f at Plumpton (good) latest, when he came in for some support; unexposed and a likely contender.

2-6 over fences, both wins coming on a sound surface in the summer over Market Rasen's 2m1f trip; form dipped in a couple of starts after the latter, but he was back to his best when under 3l second at Sedgefield (2m, good) latest; player from same mark.

Didn't hang about over hurdles and he's started his chase career with a win at Huntingdon and a creditable second at Hereford (both at 2m on soft); should have more to offer over fences but he jumped to the right last time and this return to a left-handed track is a concern.
