Useful Flat horse who won a Class 2 handicap over 1m6f on soft at Doncaster in September (twice below that level since); beaten off 2lb higher on his handicap hurdle debut in February (good) but entitled to improve on that form under these conditions, especially on only his fourth run over hurdles; has won a novice; interesting.

Has improved for 1m4f and the fitting of a cheekpieces and tongue-tie combination, following up December's Wolverhampton success when proving too strong for Glittering Choice and Hildenley here 24 days ago; that pair haven't done much for that form since but he's still much respected in the hat-trick bid.
