Beat a very promising horse of Nicky Henderson's in an AW bumper after which he was a late withdrawal from the big one at Cheltenham on account of soft ground; confirmed himself smart at Aintree (Grade 2) where he travelled better than anything only to be denied late on by a stablemate who was making it 3-3; exciting prospect for novice hurdles.
