Returned to form with hard-fought win here (2m4f, good) in May, his fifth hurdling success (three of the others were over C&D); well held back from a break at Worcester yesterday (about 5l behind Platenium).

Still a maiden after nine hurdling starts but bettered low-key stable debut when keeping on steadily from the rear for fifth at Market Rasen and he finished a close fourth at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) yesterday; may have more to offer.

Unexposed 5yo who made quite promising hurdle debut when fourth at Southwell (good to soft) in February; two lesser efforts followed, and this handicap debut comes after a 172-day break, but he he might be aided by the new tongue-tie and remains open to improvement.

1-15 over hurdles; returned from break with fairly good fourth at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) in April but all three subsequent runs were underwhelming and he has basically become disappointing.

Won four in a row (two hurdles, two chases) at Sedgefield last autumn but has performed well in only one of four chases this year and needs to prove he can cope with a hurdle mark this high; best on good/good to soft.
