Belied his 100-1 odds with a remarkable success in the Triumph at this meeting (2m1f, good to soft) last year on hurdles debut, collaring Lulamba who subsequently reversed placings with him at Punchestown and is a leading contender in today's Arkle; ran below expectations at Royal Ascot but ran promisingly, with a view to this race, in the Irish Champion Hurdle on return from layoff (got detached in the back straight, ending up with plenty to do, then stayed on for third of five); could be open to plenty of further improvement with that outing under his belt and given his very low mileage in this sphere; very interesting back at Cheltenham.

Trained last year by Ralph Beckett, favourite when below form in the 1m1f Cambridgeshire on final outing (also below form on sole run on good to firm); made his stable/hurdles debut in March, in the Triumph at Cheltenham no less, but belied odds of 100-1 to win by a neck; second at Punchestown in May (despite racing freely) confirmed his high standing in that sphere, so he's a high-profile candidate for this return to Flat, over a very new Flat trip but his trainer usually picks the right ones for these races.

Fair fourth on Yarmouth debut (1m maiden, good to soft; 9-2) last September; failed to build on that thereafter, and is now in the care of Mark Rimell; the combination of a new trip, a gelding operation, and the switch to handicapping could yield improvement.

Four wins last year from his six 3yo starts and he continued the good work when comfortably making all in a three-runner handicap at Nottingham (2m) on last month's reappearance; unproven on AW and this is a much tougher test of his credentials but he could have lots more left in the tank.
