Fairly useful in bumpers, successful at Warwick first time up. Showed an aptitude for hurdling at the first attempt after 8 months off when third at Kelso 2 weeks ago and step up in trip will suit.

Bumper-winner CONCEROE showed an aptitude for hurdling at the first attempt when third at Kelso 2 weeks ago and should have more to offer over this longer trip. He appeals as the most likely winner ahead of Commodore Miller, who showed much more in a Sandown bumper on return.
