Grossly flattered by his proximity when second in an eventful race on seasonal/chase debut at Warwick (3m, soft) in November and was pulled up later that month; needs a good boost from the first-time blinkers here.

Won his first two over fences (3m1f, good; 3m2f, good to soft) and just as good in defeat the last twice, perhaps bumping into an improver (unraced since) at Wincanton last time (soft); highly likely to give his running and be involved.

Won two chases in the autumn (2m7f/3m1f) but was then pulled up three consecutive times; step back in the right direction when modest third at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) in February but needs to do better again here.

Form & Verdict
Went close at Kempton (3m, good) on debut over fences; couple of backward steps since but looks interesting on this first chase attempt at Wincanton, having gained both hurdles wins here (soft/good to soft).

Scored twice over hurdles last spring, including off 2lb higher; not in the same form this season, including in both chase attempts; chance partly depends on how well he takes to new headgear.
