Underwhelming display only start in bumpers but offered more both starts over hurdles at Ayr last term, making the frame on both occasions. Yard's runners often improve over the larger obstacles so warrants respect first time over fences here.

Back from 7 months off when ¾-length second of 7 to Ballyfort in handicap chase over C&D (good to soft) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Ought to give another good account.

Posted best effort in this sphere when winning 7-runner handicap chase over C&D (good to soft, 11/4) 24 days ago by ¾ length from Trac. Looked a fortunate winner on that occasion but he is only 1 lb higher now.

Given positive ride when respectable second of 7 in handicap chase over C&D (good to soft, 11/1) 10 days ago, finishing tired. Remains on a workable mark and is likely to make presence felt again.

Didn't show a great deal in 3 maiden hurdles last winter but possible he could make a much bigger impact now handicap chasing on return. Market confidence could prove significant.

Progressive initially from a low base in handicap hurdles, gaining second career success at Newcastle early last year. However, not seen a great deal since and hasn't inspired confidence with his 2 attempts over fences.
