Dual Grade 2 winner last term; finished third at the same level on penultimate start but was behind Kabral Du Mathan and stablemate Jingko Blue in that Cheltenham race; seems set for another bronze medal at best.

Fourth in this in 2024 and last season's two Grade 2 wins included one at this track, before 3m experiment in Grade 1 Stayers' did not work out; chasing on first two starts this term before a respectable third to bright hope in Grade 2 hurdle here; Nicky Henderson's hurdlers so often run well in the Festival handicaps (one under Brian Hughes won the Pertemps Final last year) and it will be no shock if this one is on the premises.

Turned over at short odds in two chase attempts this term; very useful over hurdles and his progressive spell culminated in a success in this race 12 months ago, completing a Grade 2 double (good/soft) in the process; major player back in this sphere.

His narrow win in the Relkeel at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) in January was his second straight Grade 2 hurdle success; found the Stayers' Hurdle (seventh) and the Select Hurdle (fourth) a bit too competitive thereafter; valid excuse - scoped dirty - for being a beaten odds-on favourite on Ascot chasing debut.
