Progressive sort, winning two of his last three handicap starts at Kilbeggan and here early in the month; up 14lb and the drop back in trip is a question but should go well.

Won three of his last four starts, all in handicap hurdles; 8lb rise for the latest success looks harsh given the blanket finish and may find this sort of trip on drying ground against him. |

Wins have come on ground ranging from good through to soft to heavy; unseated at the first when joint-favourite for the novice handicap at this meeting last year; won twice last term and twice ran well in defeat in big fields before going off the boil in April; reappearance three weeks ago (well-beaten sixth of 15) was a step back in the right direction, so he needs a second look. |
