11st 10lb

J: Nico de Boinville

T: Nicky Henderson

Ran quite well at Ascot in November but the wide-margin Kempton win in February (2m5f, good to soft) is his standout piece of form; ran poorly in a Grade 2 over 3m last time but that couldn't have been his true running.

Left previous form behind to win easily for top yard in a novice hurdle at Kempton (2m5f, good to soft) 12 days ago, and there's every chance this 3m point runner-up will be fine now back up in trip; unraced on soft/heavy ground and he jumped to the right last time so reverting to a left-handed track may be a negative, but he's entitled to respect after last time.

Came up well short in Cheltenham Grade 2 last time but currently holds an Albert Bartlett entry and may yet prove useful; earlier form (point/bumper/hurdle) reads very well, based on the subsequent performances of the winners; respected back down in class.

Couldn't live with the winner in his Irish point but then fetched £200,000 at the sales; the winner of that point has since finished fourth in a bumper for Gordon Elliott and the third has won a point.
