Second in his only bumper and third in two maiden hurdles; favourite for handicap debut in eight-runner race here (2m4f, good to soft) on latest outing but was floundering before the home straight and finished more than 20l behind the first two; needs much better than that and cheekpieces go on for yard among the winners.

Well in on some of his placed form over fences for Alex Hales but left that yard after some disappointing efforts in the summer; well-held third here in September on stable debut but didn't show much at Doncaster in November; back over hurdles today and unraced beyond 2m4f; 5lb out of the handicap.

Went close in a novice hurdle at Warwick in November and showed that form was no fluke at Ludlow latest, both over 2m on soft; initial mark looks a bit stiff but further improvement may well be possible over this much longer trip, with the dam having had plenty of stamina.

Unwise to blame soft ground when well held in the new cheekpieces at Warwick last time (3m2f); a repeat of his second at Ludlow in November would give him a shout, though that was at 3m.

Won at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) and Carlisle (2m4f, soft) in October; close, staying-on third over 2m5f next time (after hanging badly left) and perhaps heavy ground was not ideal on latest; respected for that sequence and makes plenty of appeal over this longer trip.
