Should be well treated based on hurdling ability but needs to raise his game in this code

Below par the last twice but has won twice over hurdles here and is not ruled out

Won at Ayr in June and some good form since; capable of having a big say

Won at Hamilton in June; no threat there the next twice but this longer trip may suit

13-race maiden but made late headway over 1m3f last time; worth a go at this new trip
6 (5)	Bellslea Bay J:Andrew Elliott T:R Mike Smith	J:Andrew Elliott T:R Mike Smith	116	b	65/008	46	50	-	17d	—	—	-2	0.6	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Hard to fancy judged on what he's produced this summer
