Won from the front at Ayr (3m, soft; beat Marown by 6.5l) in December to make it 3-9 over fences; couldn't lead when disappointing three months ago; if getting to the front he's not without hope of staying there.

Returned to form with front-running win at Ayr (3m, soft) in December and is now 3-9 over fences; should be fine on this right-handed track but latest 7lb rise demands more from him and he may not be allowed an uncontested lead this time.

Last month's Ayr success came in a match and he could manage only fifth off this mark at Carlisle next time, though wasn't beaten far; can make mistakes and blundered and unseated rider here on Wednesday.

Maiden over hurdles but this point winner made light work of his recent Newcastle chasing debut; up 8lb and probably wouldn't want the ground to dry but lot to like about his chance given the manner of the win.

Only had two rivals when making a winning debut over fences at Newbury last month so difficult to gauge what he achieved; on the plus side, he was comfortably on top at the end and is only 3lb higher; interesting.

Form & Verdict
Second (of four) on chasing debut last November but tailed off the following month; reverted to hurdles since and Market Rasen winner off this mark last month; looked to be struggling from some way out back chasing here on Wednesday (2m4f) but finished with some gusto to take second; this trip looks more suitable if he turns out again.
