Daily Bet Boost With BetVictor Handicap Hurdle

Ground it out returned to hurdling at Market Rasen (2m7f, soft) but suffered another dip in form at Ffos Las and he does handle heavy ground; others safer.

Failed to take to fences; third in a big field over C&D (good to soft) before running away with another handicap at 2m4f here (soft); could cope with the 7lb rise if proving as effective back up in trip.

Started the season over fences and that didn't go well; his fifth over C&D in January was encouraging but again failed to fire at Ascot; there's a competitive show in him should the new cheekpieces (on for a visor) trigger something.

Lightly raced junior hurdle winner; back from wind surgery when second in a three-finisher field at Fontwell (2m5f, heavy) and the winner is seriously progressive; best form has been in the mud but needs considering.

Bought for £100,000 after winning an Irish point by 20l; no closer than 15l in two runs over hurdles (2m4f/2m5f) but Harry Derham turns to cheekpieces for this handicap debut over a longer trip and any confidence in the betting should be heeded.
