Proved his stamina and made it 5-5 under rules (all in hunter chases) when beating Its On The Line by a neck to win the big one at Cheltenham (3m2f, good to soft) last month, despite a mistake at the final fence; has also won on good going; he doesn't appear to be straightforward but clearly knows how to win and should be fine back down in trip; major player.

Won here at last May's hunter chase meeting but that was 2m; his 3m point wins came chiefly in small-field affairs and he was left clear late on when successful over that trip at Ludlow on latest start, and the time was ordinary; could run well for a long way but ultimately prove vulnerable to stronger stayers.
