Has quickly struck up a good partnership with Isabelle Ryder and he came from well back to win easily at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last Sunday; if he's in the same sort of form he'll be in the mix again under a 7lb penalty.

Up in class and up in trip (by some way) having never gone beyond an extended 3m; however, he's got low mileage as a chaser and won eased down last time at Carlisle (good to soft); handicapper saw fit to raise him 9lb for that but if his stamina reserves can stretch this far then he might not be far away.

0-8 over hurdles and not very consistent but his second of eight off today's mark at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) In November was a good effort, and he was only beaten about 3l when third of four in tactical race over that C&D ten days ago; contender if he takes well to fences at first attempt.
