Record of 211 since switched to chasing and the form of his Warwick success (3m1f, good to soft) last time has been boosted by the second/third since; respected off bottom weight upped in grade, with additional improvement plausible upped further in trip.

In process of running big race before penultimate-fence fall on last month's chase debut at Haydock (2m4f, good to soft; first run after long absence) and kept on well for second when upped to 2m7f at Huntingdon (good to soft) on next outing; should cope if the ground ends up soft/heavy here and could have untapped potential over this even longer trip.

Went up 5lb for beating an exposed rival at Southwell (2m4f, soft; fine on good to soft) but he still ran well in a Class 3 at Newbury (2m6f) that didn't go entirely like clockwork; he could yet raise his bar higher; much respected.

Fontwell maiden hurdle winner in May 2024 who's been competitive since handicapping over fences this term, bang there when coming down two out at Haydock (2m4f) in December before finishing runner-up in staying chases at Huntingdon and Warwick (all good to soft); drop back in trip probably no bother and he's a firm contender once more.
