Assertive Walk (G)
Showed plenty to work on when placed in a Chepstow bumper and made an encouraging start over hurdles 14 months on when second of 4 in novice at Windsor on New Year's Day. That form yet to be franked but still early days.

Progressive form over hurdles, runner-up in maidens last two starts, including over 21f here 34 days ago. Clear pick on form and return to further should suit.
