Failed to complete a hat-trick but was far from discredited at Ascot (3m, good to soft) last time in the Reynoldstown, which was won 12 months earlier by a stablemate who subsequently finished second in the Ultima at this meeting; may have more to offer back down in distance, being 4-4 at 2m3f-2m5f; the tea leaves are signalling that he'll run well.

Record of 2-3 since switched to fences, most recently scoring at Doncaster (2m3f, soft); has form at up to 3m; open to further improvement and his stable has a good record in this contest; interesting.

Runner-up in Grade 2 novice hurdle last season and he left his chase debut well behind to win a three-runner beginners' chase at Haydock (2m5f, good to soft) last month; open to further improvement and could have a big say in a first-time tongue-tie; showed promise on soft ground in a bumper.

Quite useful as novice hurdler, best form when second in 3m Grade 2 at Cheltenham (good to soft) last December; however, beaten 25l in Aintree Grade 1 in April and 29l when last of four on chase debut in warm race at Exeter (3m on good) last month; should have come on since that latest run.

Quite a useful novice hurdler last season, best form when second in 3m Grade 2 at Cheltenham; faced a stiffer task (well held) in Grade 1 at Aintree on final outing; may resume progress this term and looks interesting back down in class on chase debut.
