Stoutly bred so did well to finish close up off a steady pace at Chepstow, albeit in a field of only four (heavy); it's hard to know exactly what he achieved, though.

Capitalised on the drop back in trip to win at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) in February and followed up at Kempton (2m2f, good); he's 7lb higher than last time and in a hotter race, but did it very nicely and this 6yo novice is now 3-6 over fences; could still have more to offer and he's respected.

Still unexposed after only three hurdling starts but did not achieve a great deal when making the frame in two small-field events this spring (2m1f/1m7f) and probably needs to improve to overcome top weight on handicap debut.

Plenty of good efforts on AW during the winter, including a win at Lingfield (7f); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he didn't shine back on turf at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month and that took his overall record to 1-28; mixed messages.
