Two hurdle wins since May and he squeezed in a successful chase debut at Worcester (2m7f, good) in between; latest third over hurdles here (about 2m7f, good) was a solid effort last Tuesday and he's a firm candidate again; due to go up 1lb.

Low-mileage 7yo is thriving of late and he readily followed up his hurdling success at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to firm) in 2m7f handicap chase here (good) two weeks ago; up 8lb but still looks the one to beat back hurdling.

Last season's light campaign over hurdles did not go well (tried in cheekpieces latterly) but he shouldn't mind getting back on drier ground and is too well handicapped to dismiss on chasing debut.

Lacked fluency on chase debut but jumped better and beat Grand Clermont kept to Worcester (2m7f, good) last time; unexposed in this sphere and remains favourably treated on best hurdles form, which features a win off 1lb higher; major claims.

Lacked fluency and was ultimately well beaten over C&D (good) on chasing debut a fortnight ago, after a layoff, but significant positives can still be drawn from that performance and he ought to cope better than some of these if the ground softens; can be dangerous if in a better rhythm today.
