Five-time hurdle winner, most recently off today's mark at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft) in November; has become inconsistent, though, and dropped out quite tamely after making the running at Fontwell in May.

Disappointed at Uttoxeter this month but had been steadily progressive before that; still on a feasible mark and Bradley Harris takes off 8lb so plenty going for him if the latest effort can be forgiven.
