Not bred for this sort of trip but turned in his best effort to date last Tuesday, upped to 1m6f on his Tapeta debut; that was only a 0-55 in which he again started a big price but it gave something to build on.

Successful under Kyle McHugh at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in January and Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) last month; ran another good race when second of nine off this mark at Kempton (2m, AW) nine days ago and has solid claims returned to this trip.

Best efforts, including two wins this year, have all come for Kyle McHugh; maybe unwise to take his latest Chelmsford victory at face value and he'll need more again if he's to overcome a 7lb rise.

Made the frame a few times over hurdles and on Flat before a breakthrough win over 1m6f here 16 days ago; won that well enough to earn this 7lb higher mark and he is clearly a contender.

British challenger; dual-purpose; has won on the AW on the Flat but is 0-10 over hurdles; went close off 1lb lower at Huntingdon (20.5f, soft) in January; ground may have been too lively at Southwell latest; could outrun his odds back on easier ground.
