Successful in a first-time visor at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft; from a 5lb lower mark) in November before being narrowly denied at Musselburgh (3m); again demonstrated his wellbeing with a solid effort on the Flat at Southwell (2m) recently; needs considering.

Hurdles record of 5-32 includes wins over 3m on good ground at Wetherby in October and Haydock latest start; holding his form well and is better than ever; may remain competitive.

Running well at present and he followed a Wetherby win (3m) in October with a solid third at Bangor (2m7f, also good), despite giving Joe Anderson a workout, 12 days later; has form on soft and is one to consider.
