Bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles at the fourth attempt at Kelso (2m5f, soft) in November and was back on the scoresheet in a novice there (2m5f, good to soft) four weeks ago; did it easily last time and has potential off his opening mark.

Off the mark at the ninth attempt over hurdles when justifying favouritism in a handicap here (2m2f, good) last month; this is tougher off 5lb higher but he seems versatile trip-wise and he still has potential; respected for in-form yard.

Placed in five of his eight runs over hurdles without looking particularly progressive; in good heart though and looks sure to win a race such as this; place claims at least.

1l second to Le Beau Madrik at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in November on second hurdle start and easily justified 30-100 odds there (2m1f, good to soft) last month; open to further improvement for stable that won this in 2017 and 2020; not discounted.
