Made all in useful Cheltenham novice (2m1f, good) in December and is now 2-2 over hurdles; ought to be suited by the longer trip here and a tilt at next month's Ballymore at Cheltenham could be on the agenda if all goes to plan today.

Justified favouritism with 1l success in novice hurdle at Kempton (2m, good to soft) last month, building on the promise of his sole bumper run; others have better form as things stand but he should have more to offer for top yard; an interesting prospect.

Form & Verdict
After chasing home Invictus De Brion in his final bumper he ran out the comfortable winner of his hurdling debut back at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; this is a better race and he has a penalty, so will do well to follow up.

Ran respectably when third of five over hurdles at regular haunt Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month; better known as a chaser these days but he looks weighted near best off this mark and is untried beyond 2m5f; has some work to do back in this sphere.

Built on his promising debut when never far off the pace in a Plumpton bumper (2m1f, good) and won gamely from Alien Storm, who has since franked that form; now receives weight off that rival, so he should confirm the placings.
