Readily won over C&D in June on his second start for the stable and, switched to fences, ran well when runner-up off the same mark just eight days later; 7lb higher now but it remains early days for this stable and in handicaps and he could have more to offer.

Ex David Brace; travelled strongly, winning readily on second start for this trainer over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good; 5-6 favourite) eight days ago; is due a 9lb rise, but switches to fences for the first time (half-brother to the 2m chase winner Thatza Dazzler) from an unchanged mark; obvious chance.

No match for comfortable winner when second of five on stable/handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good; reportedly made respiratory noise) in June but that was his first run for 462 days and he now has a tongue-tie fitted; improvement possible.

Back to winning ways in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in May and largely in good form since over hurdles; made mistakes when last of eight on his chasing debut at Market Rasen (2m1f) eight days ago and not discounted quickly returned to this sphere.

Record of 2-18 over hurdles and latest fourth at Uttoxeter wasn't too far off his best form; however, he's Flat bred so what he'll make of fences remains to be seen.

Took big step back in right direction and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when fifth at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in March, but was generally very disappointing last season; others have more appealing profiles.
