Pulled up at 50-1 in last year's 3m Grade 1 novice hurdle here; ran well in three of his five chases this term, notably with his easy win in a 2m5f beginners' event at Carlisle (good to soft) last time, but Cheltenham in December was one of the exceptions and he didn't jump well that day, before falling at Exeter on his next start; work to do on a few counts.

The only one of these with chasing experience; didn't jump well when soundly beaten at Cheltenham in December and fell at Exeter latest; however, before those he ran well to finish third over C&D (good to soft) and at Kempton (3m, good) in his first two chases; major player if he's on song.

Won a point on heavy and a novice hurdle on good; hasn't really built on his good first run over fences (2m5f; ahead of Laganhill) but Cheltenham's fences got in the way last time and he retains plenty of potential in this discipline.

Point (3m, heavy) and novice hurdle (2m3f, good) winner who stayed on for 10l third behind The Jukebox Kid on chase debut at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) last month; failed to build on that when third of seven at Kempton (3m, good) but retains potential and could be a contender.
