He has won a hurdle race and two chases from 2m to 2m 2f on good to firm and good ground. Beaten 1/2l by Delgany Gunner when second of 5 at 2-1fav on his latest outing in a chase at Uttoxeter over 3m (good) last month.
KIRKHAMMERTON likes it around here (won once and placed three times from six visits) and looks to have a big chance off bottom-weight. He enjoys a nice swing in the weights with Delgany Gunner for a half-length defeat at Uttoxeter and remains ridiculously well treated on his best form. Neil King's inmate still warrants respect but the biggest challenge may come from Silent Snow, who won nicely over C&D last time.
