Typical improver for this yard who readily got off the mark at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; failed to settle in steadily run event when only eighth at Goodwood last time but he remains with plenty of potential and can bounce back in style here.

Two wins on the Flat, rated as high as 95 when with Sir Mark Prescott; a long way below that in a Flat event at Listowel a month ago; took well enough to hurdling in four outings between March and June, best effort when second at Punchestown in May; let down by his jumping at Downpatrick in September; good chance if producing his best on first-time cheekpieces.

Won a twice on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott and has made the frame on all four starts over hurdles; weak finishing effort at Punchestown in June provides cause for concern, but looks the clear pick of these runners based on his Naas third in April and Punchestown second in May.
