Got off the mark over hurdles at the fifth attempt in a Wetherby maiden (2m, good) in March; surpassed that with a cracking second in a big-field handicap at Punchestown (2m, yielding) in May and should be up to defying a 7lb penalty in this company.

Bidding to emulate stablemate Handlethekettle, who took the same C&D 0-140 as him last year before going on to add this race; 4lb rise for that latest win leaves him with nothing in hand on peak RPRs and he could still jump better, but there's nothing halfway as progressive in opposition.
