Has record of 11142132 for his current yard, with those first three wins over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f) and his last success over fences at Market Rasen (2m7f); up another 3lb after his second over hurdles at Warwick (2m3f, good) last month, but he went down fighting after making a mistake at the last; could still have more to offer and he's a big player.

He was 3lb higher when winning this 12 months ago and didn't arrive here that day in great form; did finish third at Uttoxeter two runs back so could go well, despite a modest last run when the visor was back on (in which he's effective but now removed).
