Well beaten over hurdles on final run last season and same story on last month's return; has something to prove but he won over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) in March and this lightly raced point winner could improve for the switch to fences; not discounted.

Three wins over fences this season and last two have been at Fontwell (2m2f/2m3f, good to soft); well-held second of four at Plumpton 19 days ago but that was behind an improver from the Nicholls yard; 10lb lower on this return to hurdling and he's an interesting contender in suitable conditions.
