Absent since being outgunned by Supreme absentee Idaho Sun when perhaps indirectly hindered by the low sun in Grade 1 at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft; four hurdles were omitted) on Boxing Day, losing his unbeaten record and his position at the head of the ante-post betting for this contest; gained his three wins in easy fashion, looking a very smart prospect, and may yet fulfil his potential; form is broadly solid; the likely frenetic pace here will suit this strong traveller who is ridden with hold-up tactics; remains of strong interest.
