Point runner-up who capitalised on the clear leader's fall to win on hurdle debut at Newbury (2m, soft) in December, before fair third at Hereford (2m5f, soft) last month; he could do with settling better than last time but it looked a good race and he could have potential off his opening mark.

Made all in debuted cheekpieces at Taunton in February (2m5f, good to soft); 7lb rise for posting that course record time was fair, and the subsequent Newbury defeat instead looked owed to the same sort of fight for the early lead which Joltin N Jiving might yet give him here.
