Talented novice chaser last season (including on soft/heavy) and he's been in fine form in handicaps at Cheltenham this autumn (2m, good), posting a close second then a win; there could still be mileage in this front-runner's mark and another bold bid can be expected.

Very useful novice chaser last term, creditable fourth in the Arkle (soft); ran well in C&D handicap (good) on reappearance, finishing only a neck behind Calico (pair clear); could well build on that effort and reverse the placings; respected.

6/4
