British runner; hurdles winner is now rated 22lb higher over fences after back-to-back wins on soft ground over 2m4f at Sandown; decisive victor of five-runner contest in January and justified 4-6 odds last month when seeing off two rivals; this big field is new for him, but he's in fine form.

Things clicked when he went up in trip over C&D (soft) in January in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) on his third chase start, and he won in decisive fashion from one who scored next time; 8lb rise might not stop him.

Has proved expensive to follow, aside from one win (over hurdles); however, campaigned mostly at 2m and may improve for this step back up in distance, combined with fitting of tongue-tie, in third chase attempt.

Consistent rather than progressive over hurdles and found the ideal race in a Plumpton maiden (2m, good) last April; made just a respectable chase debut at Warwick (2m, soft) after a layoff, with the odd stutter along the way behind one on a three-timer, but a likely type who should improve.

Made the frame in three handicap hurdles (2m-2m3f, good-soft) before easily winning modest Plumpton maiden (2m, good) at skinny odds in April; open to improvement over fences this season; one to consider.
