The going is Good.
No specific going preferences noted for the runners.
Very useful hurdler/chaser in his prime; well below best during a fairly light campaign last season (four hurdle runs; cheekpieces added last time) but will appreciate this ease in grade and has slipped to a dangerous mark.
Won three consecutive small-field races in the autumn, the latest a Plumpton handicap (2m4f, good); absent since struggling on soft ground there in December but remains lightly raced and could plausibly still have more improvement to come.
Just did enough to win 2m Ludlow maiden in the autumn and was a very respectable third of six in novice event over that C&D (again on good) last month; moves up in trip for handicap debut; should have more to offer.
Didn't see out 3m when well-held third at Doncaster (good to soft) in March but ran well for a long way and is now back on same mark as for his clear second behind a useful rival there (2m3f, soft) in November; also suited by good ground; could be a tough nut to crack if aided by new cheekpieces.
Displayed considerable improvement when winning easily by 12l on last month's handicap hurdle debut at Hereford (2m, good); managed only third under 7lb penalty here (2m2f, good) eight days later and is another 5lb higher today, but he moves up in trip again and remains of interest.
