All good since joining Stuart Edmonds and deserved his 2m7f win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (by 4l; good); up 4lb for this return to fences but he's a three-time winner in this discipline.

Dual C&D winner; only win last season was a walkover in a chase; went back hurdling after that and took time to find his form, but sound placed efforts on last two starts, latest when third at Haydock in March (3m, good; first run after a wind op) when Super Survivor was well behind in eighth; chance.

December's Doncaster second (3m, good to soft) suggested a sound future as a stayer, so it's disappointing he has not always seen out mostly shorter trips since, beaten 26l over almost 2m5f latest.
