Disappointing favourite over C&D last time, folding rather tamely once headed, but record suggests a rebound is plausible; has solid form otherwise and proved game, as opposed to tame, in gaining his Cheltenham win.

Solid form in bumpers (for previous yard) and over hurdles; recorded a game success in maiden event at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day most recently, building on reappearance effort; likely to improve further and holds strong claims.

Solid placed form in bumpers (including Listed) for previous yard; another sound effort, beating all bar the market leader, at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) switched to hurdles; firmly in the mix.

Placed in both bumpers for Don Cantillon last year, latterly when third (just behind Moneygarrow) in Ascot Listed race (good to soft) in December; looks a good prospect for novice hurdles this season; tongue-tie added.
