Point winner on good ground over 2m4f; bumper winner on heavy and won his maiden here on soft (1m7f); nearly went in again in a Taunton novice last time but this is a huge hike in trip for only his second handicap, having never raced beyond 2m1f under rules.

Has made far more progress over hurdles than seemed likely, having been 0-3 (admittedly placed each time) in bumpers for Paul Nicholls; 3-3 in this sphere for new stable, winning by 12l at Cheltenham (2m1f) and 18l at Haydock (1m7f Grade 2) the last two occasions, both on good to soft ground; strong traveller who was particularly impressive from the front last time (he doesn't necessarily need to dominate); brother to a Cheltenham Festival winner; greatly respected in his bid to give Nicky Henderson a sixth success in this race.
