December's Doncaster second (3m, good to soft) suggested a sound future as a stayer, so it's disappointing he has not always seen out mostly shorter trips since, beaten 26l over almost 2m5f latest.

Just 1-8 over hurdles but returned to form with pretty good third at Fakenham (2m7f, good) last month and didn't run badly in competitive 2m4f race there a fortnight ago; can make his presence felt.

0-12 over hurdles but he ran well to finished second off this mark at Huntingdon (2m3f, soft) in February; this is a deeper race but he's versatile ground-wise and has each-way claims again after a short break.
