proved himself as good as ever after 7 months off, springing a surprise, and is clearly still a smart hurdler despite his advancing years, at least when conditions are in his favour, anyway (revels in the mud); dropped out, took closer order after eighth, upsides when hit 2 out, went on soon after, driven out.

presumably had a problem to go missing after the Cleeve last season and ran poorly after 9 months off, acknowledging he's almost certainly better at 3m+; prominent, lost place after sixth, behind from eighth; he'll presumably be refitted with headgear for his next run.
