At his peak when winning the big November handicap (off 1lb higher) over C&D in 2020 and following up in the Premier Chase at Kelso; flopped when favourite for that season's Grand National and has lacked consistency since; however, this looks his easiest task for some time and he's very tempting from a handicapping perspective (peak mark was 156).

Won the big Newbury handicap in November 2020 and sent off favourite for the Grand National in April 2021; however, he was pulled up and his subsequent form has been patchy; others are preferred, despite his reduced mark.

Two seasons ago he won Newbury's big handicap chase and was sent off a warm favourite for the Grand National only to cut out quickly and pull up; hasn't shown any benefit for wind surgery in the meantime and he reportedly bled when again failing to complete in last season's National; has become a risky proposition but he is only a 10yo and could yet come good again; usual cheekpieces left off.
