Consistent since switched to fences in the autumn and got a win on the board at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) this month; went up 5lb for that but is evidently in good heart and further progress is possible.

Lacked fluency and did not look ideally suited by the drop back to 2m on recent chasing debut at Uttoxeter (soft) so, in the circumstances, did pretty well to plug on for second (no threat to winner); unraced over this far but went close in a 2m6f hurdle in December; a possible if he gets into a better jumping rhythm this time.

Useful type having been a wide-margin winner twice this winter, over 1m7f at Catterick (good) and Huntingdon (2m, soft); however, he stalled slightly at Uttoxeter in February and it was offputting to see him jump repeatedly left back at Huntingdon since; reservations.

Recent form includes a couple of comfortable wins, latterly over C&D on soft in January; latest Uttoxeter third suggests the handicapper may have him about right now, though.

Runner-up in maiden/novice hurdles in February/March (2m, soft) but not so good stepped up in trip on quicker ground at Kempton last time; quite interesting now going chasing (finished fourth in three Irish points in 2022).
