Delivered on earlier promise when making all in good-ground Carlisle bumper in October; behind two of today's rivals when weakening seventh on hurdle debut here (2m, good to soft) this month but ran well for a long way and wasn't beaten far; can feature if that outing brought him on.

His time with Aidan O'Brien and Ivan Furtado was on the chequered side but three bits of useful form read well compared to this mark, including his staying-on fourth at Newcastle (2m, AW) in December off 5lb higher; made a successful yard/hurdles debut at Sedgefield four weeks ago, which is a light year away from this assignment but a case can be made.
