Clear of the third when beaten just a neck on debut in a big field at Newbury (6.5f, soft; 17-2) last Friday; it was a performance in keeping with his pedigree and he sets a useful form standard for the rest to aim at.

Some ability in defeat on the Flat; similar sort of form in his first three completed runs over hurdles before running no race last time at Haydock; handled soft on the Flat but now gets the chance to show what he can do on very different ground (soft or heavy so far over hurdles) and it coincides with his handicap debut.

Not in top form since returned to the Flat but solid hurdles record (1121322) suggests a resurgence is likely; ran creditably, albeit fortunate to finish second the way things panned out, in the Champion Hurdle when last seen in this sphere; has the best chance at the weights.

Runner-up (albeit fortunate) in the Champion Hurdle in March and easily made all in this last year (soft; seems versatile ground-wise); he enjoyed the run of the race 12 months ago and hasn't shone on his two Flat starts this year, but he drops back in grade today and may once more benefit from an uncontested lead; could make another bold bid now back here.
