Opened his account in a jumpers bumper at Kempton (18f) 3 weeks ago, doing well to get up having conceded first run. Just modest form so far over hurdles but he may yet do better.

Multiple winner on Flat (at up to 14.5f) in 2017/18. Largely below form in that sphere in 2020 and ran to just a fair level on his belated hurdling bow at Newbury, but has some potential to improve.

Well held only start in bumpers but showed ability on hurdling debut 10 months on at this course. Never better than mid-field in a jumpers bumper last time, but remains with potential as a hurdler.

Left hurdles debut effort behind when second over C&D in December. Not disgraced in a jumpers bumper subsequently and open to further improvement as a hurdler.

Verdict

TIME TO TINKER split a pair of next-time-out winners over C&D in December, so he looks the most persuasive option with further improvement on the cards. Just In Time ran to just a fair level on his belated hurdling debut at Newbury but can improve, with The Hoax and Young Lieutenant others worthy of consideration.
