Runner-up twice last winter and claims on those efforts; fell two starts ago and well beaten on latest start three months ago; something to prove therefore; often makes the running.

Dual chase winner last season, latterly off today's mark here (2m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; not in same form when well-held third at Market Rasen last month, though, and this switch back to hurdling is not ideal.

Improved efforts in a tongue-strap the last twice and ran well when second on his chasing debut at Huntingdon 11 days ago; due to go up 3lb from tomorrow so plenty of appeal as he seeks a first success.
