Placed in three of four starts in bumpers on good and soft ground; encouraging run on hurdling debut at Cork (2m3f, soft) after 194 day break; should strip fitter for that and shaped like further would suit; leading claims with rider taking off a handy 7lb.

Started off for new stable in excellent form in the autumn, winning at Kelso (2m6f, good) before big-field second at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft), but his progress has stalled a bit since; needs combination of last month's wind op and first-time tongue-tie to have positive effect.

Made it 2-2 here on stable debut in October (2m6f, good) and close second of 18 at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft) next time; hasn't run badly on either starts since and this lightly raced 6yo could benefit from the return to Kelso, but a career-best is needed and the drop to 2m isn't an obvious plus.
