Winning hurdler and some good efforts over fences before getting off the mark here last month over 2m, defying top-weight when asserting from last for comfortable 1.75l win over Chosen Shant (who hit the last); 5lb worse off with that rival here but can confirm the form over this longer trip.

Sent off at just 9-2 on return from mammoth absence in a handicap hurdle here 16 days ago (16.5f, good) and denied only by a neck; capable off this mark over fences but the 'bounce' factor has to be a concern and has fallen both previous chase runs at this venue.
