Went very close on last month's handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good) then exploited good opportunity in modest Market Rasen maiden (2mf, good to soft) 24 days ago; probably still on a workable mark and further progress is possible; likely contender.

Bought for £4,500 last month and has rewarded the enterprise with wins at Uttoxeter (chase, nine days ago) and Perth (hurdle on Sunday); no penalty for latest success so long way ahead of the handicapper; obvious choice.

Four wins (a hurdle and three chases) from first seven starts for this stable last year; yet to recapture that form since returning from a break in February but his fourth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in April was a big step back in the right direction and today's much quicker ground should also suit.
