Won the Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle last year (2m4f, good); ended the season with second over C&D; all three runs this season in Grade 1s, third in the Long Walk at Ascot (3m, good to soft), fifth in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham (3m, good), third behind Home By The Lee at Aintree; could be in the mix for Teahupoo's trainer.

Won the Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle here 12 months ago (2m4f, good); just two runs in current campaign and they've been positive performances in Grade 1s, finishing third in the Long Walk at Ascot (3m, good to soft) and fifth in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham (3m, good); this lightly raced 6yo could have more to offer back here in a first-time tongue-tie; chance.

Stayed on well to win 2m4f Grade 1 novice hurdle at Aintree (good) last April and suited by the step up in trip when close second in Grade 1 at Punchestown (3m, yielding) later that month, when clear with Jasmin De Vaux who was impressive in the Albert Bartlett here previously; promising third behind Impose Toi in the Grade 1 Long Walk at Ascot (3m, good to soft) in December on sole run this winter, and this very lightly raced 6yo has the potential to take high rank in the staying hurdle division.

Lightly raced and progressive; took the rise in class in his stride when winning Grade 1 novice at Aintree (2m4f, good) in April, and he was a very good second when stepped up in distance for similar event at Punchestown (3m, yielding) later that month; still has untapped potential and he's high on the list after eight months off.
