Runner-up twice over hurdles in recent weeks, latterly in refitted cheekpieces at Worcester (2m7f, good), but was well beaten in both chases last year and needs to prove he can transfer his recent good form to fences.

Seemingly aided by cheekpieces when making the frame at Warwick twice this season (3m1f/3m2f, good) but his finishing was disappointing in those races and he's patently not as good as he was; others preferred.
