Form & Verdict
Improved to win on his handicap debut at Ayr (2m3f, good to soft) in October and he followed up there (2m3f, soft) in November; should have more left in the tank, especially now up in trip, and he's a key player.

Moderate form in maiden/novice hurdles at around 2m earlier in the year; returned from a break to score when upped to 2m3f (good to soft) for his handicap debut over C&D last month, when he had plenty in hand; up 7lb for that but may still be well treated; big player.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent but he was suited by the step up in trip when winning in good style over C&D (heavy) three weeks ago; versatile ground-wise and could have more to offer over staying trips; respected up 5lb.

0-10 in Ireland and 0-7 in Britain; pulled up over C&D in December but that was after a 662-day absence and he was an always-prominent third of 17 to Blue Hop at Doncaster (3m) three weeks ago, so needs a second look.
