Travelled well when second over an extended 7f at Ffos Las (heavy) on debut and, dropped to 6f, he comfortably land the odds at Pontefract (good to soft) 16 days later; this demands a lot more but he does looks sure to improve again.

Weak in the market and sent off at 11-1 when seventh of nine on last month's debut at Ripon (6f, good), beaten nearly 6l; considerable improvement is needed if he's to threaten this afternoon.

Kept on when fifth of nine on his handicap debut over 1m2f at Nottingham (good) in April and he then won the first juvenile hurdle of the jump season in June; may have been unlucky not to make it two when beaten by Lucky Sevens at Stratford ten days ago and he has clear potential now asked to tackle a staying trip in this sphere.

Put in place by main market rival when second of four at Market Rasen (2m, good; raced too freely) last month but beat a next-time-out winner when scoring on hurdle debut at Hexham (2m, good) a few days earlier and has obvious claims here.
