Off the mark at the sixth attempt over hurdles when justifying favouritism in a Wincanton handicap (3m1f, good to soft) last month; up 5lb but he stayed on strongly for that comfortable win and is open to more progress at this new trip; key player.

Kingston Hill gelding who is progressing with experience in this sphere, posting a good fourth of seven to Call Me Legend on his handicap debut at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month; enjoys a 4lb weights pull here so is one to consider.

Form & Verdict
0-7 over hurdles; did not get home after racing too freely at Taunton (3m, good to soft) in January and was just a respectable fifth there (2m3f, heavy) last month but he's probably worth another crack at 3m and Paul Nicholls may yet find the key him.

0-9 as a hurdler but only his fourth run over fences when making light work of The Gypsy Davey over C&D (add 23yds) six days ago; penalised accordingly but Paddy Hanlon's claim takes care of 5lb of that.

13-race maiden, including three runs over fences, but showed more when travelling well for a long way last time, failing to stay 3m2f; needs to build on that and the drop back in trip is a plus; usually claimer ridden but not today.

Sported a first-time hood when going very close in Wincanton maiden (about 2m5f, heavy) just over a year ago; couldn't match that either side of a break but last time's handicap debut at Windsor (2m4f, good) was a step back in the right direction; drops in grade.
