Holds the Triumph entry and the form of his Auteuil win in October (2m2f, heavy) looks good as there were subsequent winners behind and the runner-up (unraced since) is now with Willie Mullins; should be in a different league to these.

2-2 (heavy/soft) prior to 6l second in Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft) last April; pulled hard and down the field behind Wilful on handicap/seasonal debut at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft) but could settle better now in a hood; a tongue-tie is also applied; retains potential and he's Harry Skelton's mount among Dan Skelton's four runners; interesting.

Made a winning debut at Auteuil (2m2f, heavy) in October and had little difficulty landing very short odds in a Wetherby juvenile hurdle (2m, soft) for new connections in February; it was a weak race at Wetherby but he could no more than win easily and has the potential for significant improvement.
