Fair efforts in two bumpers (third at Hexham on first occasion) and in two races over hurdles (16l fifth of nine at Carlisle last time); a possible but may be one for handicaps.

Highland Fashion
Good second to a subsequent Grade 2 winning hurdler in a Kelso bumper last May (2m, good); better of his two runs over hurdles when third over 2m here last time (soft; stayed on); step up in trip will suit; interesting.

In the frame on all four starts, last three over hurdles; suffered from post-race heat stress when 12l fourth over 3m here last time; drop back in trip should suit; solid each-way chance
