Ran quite well at Ascot in November but the wide-margin Kempton win in February (2m5f, good to soft) is his standout piece of form; ran poorly in a Grade 2 over 3m last time but that couldn't have been his true running.

Left previous form behind to win easily for top yard in a novice hurdle at Kempton (2m5f, good to soft) 12 days ago, and there's every chance this 3m point runner-up will be fine now back up in trip; unraced on soft/heavy ground and he jumped to the right last time so reverting to a left-handed track may be a negative, but he's entitled to respect after last time.

Came up well short in Cheltenham Grade 2 last time but currently holds an Albert Bartlett entry and may yet prove useful; earlier form (point/bumper/hurdle) reads very well, based on the subsequent performances of the winners; respected back down in class.

£200,000 buy after his Irish point second; third in a bumper at Worcester in May and maiden hurdle at Ascot (2m3f, again on good) three weeks ago, in just a four-runner race last time but it looks serious form in this context and he surely brings potential, including for this trip.

Has shown promise with placed efforts in an Irish point (subsequently sold for £200,000) and Worcester bumper; still looked green last time; half-brother to a useful hurdles winner and should be capable of progress.
