Low-mileage 6yo; three non-completions have followed last October's promising chase/handicap debut but he was running fairly well before penultimate-fence fall in 2m Chepstow race won by Pep Talking last month; moves up in trip with Sean Bowen enlisted here; still has plenty of time to get career back on track.

Maybe value for further when winning at Catterick latest (2m3f, good to soft), having wanted for running room turning in; 5lb rise for that isn't an overreaction, and the 1l second went in at Sedgefield on Tuesday; few realistic opportunities on good so far, and looks solid.
