Has done well since dropping to 1m, winning at Windsor (good) in August and at Kempton (AW) last month, with his modest effort at the former track in between probably down to the good to firm ground; only 3lb higher and shouldn't be far away.

Hurdle win in May (2m, good); poor form on the Flat since August, failing to progress for handicaps on last two starts; should benefit from the step up in trip and he has run well on soft going over hurdles; risky but there are grounds for expecting better dropped in class.
