Frustrating over hurdles but made a winning chase debut at Worcester last July; didn't back it up in subsequent efforts and not one to trust implicitly but fresh may be the time to catch him.

2lb above his highest winning mark, but goes well here and his recent fourth over 2m4f here was respectable; probably needs more for the win off his current mark but should figure prominently.

Form & Verdict
Beaten 40l in first two hurdles but much better at Warwick last month (in tongue-strap for first time), despite only finishing sixth of eight; that improvement is reflected in opening handicap mark on chasing debut; runner-up in an Irish point in February so the switch to fences could help.

Didn't cut much ice over hurdles and was pulled up on last month's chasing debut but burst into life at Ludlow 20 days ago, winning in style; up 9lb but still plenty of appeal now that he's found form; good ground suits.
