Won 1m AW maiden in March but he struggled in last two Flat runs and was only fourth of six on hurdling debut over C&D (25-1) in August; finished 11l behind Galactique in that race and has work to do to turn the tables with that rival.

Like The Bellhop, both his wins have been at Fontwell (good/good to soft); however, he was well behind his stablemate when both were making their handicap debuts at Sandown and this 4yo didn't look straightforward that day.

Won at Fontwell (2m1f, good) in September on second hurdle start and followed up there in October (2m1f, good to soft) in a race that worked out well; heavy ground may have been too much in Grade 2 at Cheltenham in November; unraced on soft; he could have potential off his opening mark.

Promising second over C&D (good to soft) on hurdling debut in August and he landed the odds when beating eight rivals on his return visit (good) last month; that was a workmanlike success but he showed the right attitude and is respected under a penalty.
