Placed in similar company at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) and Sedgefield (2m4f, soft); less productive on his last two appearances, with plenty of work to do in order to reverse course form with Huit Reflets; this drop back to 2m is certainly worth exploring; 5lb 'wrong'.

Raced too freely and flopped badly when upped to 2m5f for last month's chasing debut but his fourth over hurdles here (2m3f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) two starts ago was promising, and he remains lightly raced; hooded for this first attempt at 3m; no surprise if he features.
