Has shown good form over 2m4f/2m5f at Cheltenham this term, finishing second to Kabral Du Mathan in Grade 2 and recording an emphatic success from the front in Festival handicap; failed to get home in 3m Grade 1 at Aintree last time; one of the main contenders, back down in distance.

Runner-up in Grade 2 Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham in January (2m4f, good; no match for Kabral Du Mathan) when his jumping lacked fluency, then convincing winner of the BetMGM Cup (Handicap) at Cheltenham (2m5f, good to soft) last month; he should be fine now back up in trip, having won a 3m Grade 2 novice chase last season, and this unexposed 7yo could have a part to play.

Unseated last February in his third chase but won the previous two and that form makes this hurdles mark look highly tempting; second to a fine prospect over hurdles here on New Year's Day (Lucky Place third) suggested he's on his way back; bold show likely for a top trainer with three solid candidates.

Rules record is 4-8; brief spell over fences last winter featured a Grade 2 win at Windsor (unseated rider final outing); came up short in Haydock handicap returned hurdles on reappearance but may fare better with the outing under his belt.

Unbeaten in last four completed starts, most recently landing the odds in Grade 2 novice chase at Windsor (3m, soft) in January; lost rider early on at Ascot the following month; now returns to hurdles for the first time since pulling up at the Cheltenham Festival in March 2024; much harder to pin down than most of these and it's unlikely we've seen the best of him yet.
