Useful on Flat and has quickly reached a similar level over hurdles, posting a career best when first past the post in a big field at Aintree's Grand National meeting (2m, good to soft) only to be disqualified for a whip offence; seeks compensation but a 6lb higher mark will make things tougher.

Very useful on the Flat; lightly raced over hurdles and bounced back from heavy defeat in the Greatwood with 11l fifth of 17 in competitive handicap at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) in December; that latest form has received a couple of firm boosts and this Irish challenger has each-way claims.

Typical of a Prescott handicapper to have graduated from a low level to where he is now, and he could have done with faster ground when beaten 12l in last season's Cesarewitch (soft); plenty to like about his reappearance run under a big weight at Goodwood (2m, good) and he gave the impression he'd stay all day when winning over Pontefract's stiff 2m2f last season (good to firm); one of the more appealing each-way options.
