British raider from yard that had a Grade 1 winner here earlier this week; won first four starts over hurdles on varying ground; fine run when 2l behind Maestro Conti in Cheltenham Grade 2 in January (2m1f, soft); beaten 13l when runner up in another Grade 2 at Kempton; beaten 26l in the Triumph on latest; much more needed.

Often front-runner; won his first four hurdle races and placed in three better contests since; gave 2lb when 2l second to Maestro Conti in Grade 2 over C&D on penultimate outing, but the winner left the more positive impression; useful but his limitations are likely to be evident again.

Fair on the Flat (albeit a maiden) and travelled strongly for a long way when clear second on recent hurdling debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good), where a slow jump at the last flight may have cost him the race; respected.
