Point runner-up and two-time hurdle winner who needs to improve upon what he's shown on his first two chase starts, but it wasn't a bad run at Market Rasen on Boxing Day and his stable has been in fine form this month; not discounted in first-time cheekpieces.

Thorough stayer who made all to win by 14l over C&D (soft) three weeks ago and is now 7-39 over fences; this is more competitive than the races he's used to contesting, though, and he probably doesn't have much margin for error after recent 5lb rise.

Runs off same mark as when winning at Chepstow (2m7f, heavy) in February 2021, after a similar absence to today's, and he's one to watch in the betting on stable debut; however, his jumping was an issue when below par on his final three runs for Evan Williams last winter; sold for £5,000 in May.
