Won his first two over hurdles, readily justifying the odds in Sandown maiden (2m, good to soft) in November before impressing in a Listed event over that C&D (soft, Soldier Reeves second) the following month; paid for trying to match it with the winner when firmly put in his place at Haydock last time, however, and that seemed to expose his limitations; goes up in trip.
