Six-race maiden on the Flat but he's 3-4 over hurdles and travelled strongly for a long way when close third in the Triumph at Cheltenham last month; split Maestro Conti and Selma De Vary in that race and should make another bold bid here; that last run was on soft but his second win was on good.

Ordinary maiden on the Flat; won hurdling debut at Tipperary in July, however, and has emerged as a leading juvenile hurdler for new yard with his Listed win at Wetherby (good; overcame a bad late mistake) and Triumph Trial win over C&D (good to soft; by just over 6l from Winston Junior); the latter makes him the highest-rated runner in this from a British stable.

Form & Verdict
Productive Flat career peaked when second in a valuable handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to soft; RPR 94) this summer; has comfortably justified odds-on favouritism in two juvenile hurdles, latterly under a penalty at Cheltenham; has no penalty here and hard to beat for last year's winning stable.

Good Flat horse who won his first two starts over hurdles before a close second behind Minella Study in a Listed race at Wetherby (2m, good) in October; still has potential in this sphere but he was only 12th in the juvenile handicap at Cheltenham last month and needs to resume his progress in this tough race; visor added.

Juvenile hurdler whose consistent form features two wins over 2m1f at Fontwell; ran creditably in 4yo handicaps at Sandown and Ascot the last twice; gives the impression he's ready for a crack at this new trip; likely player, taking on elders who are largely exposed.
