Career best form when fourth in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham in November (2m4f, soft); back from a break with two seconds, though was no match for the winner on either occasion (including Nouvotic); travels well but doesn't always find much for pressure.

Basically a bridle horse who doesn't find much when let down, but plenty of strong form and couldn't knock his latest second to an improver at Punchestown where he pulled clear of the rest (2m4f, yielding); doubt he wants this far, but easy track will help and valuable 7lb claimed.
