The going is Good To Soft.
Well beaten on last month's handicap debut (2m2f) but his staying-on sixth in first-time blinkers at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) on Boxing Day was much more encouraging; dropped in grade and upped in trip here; no surprise if he makes further progress.
Creditable fourth in 0-130 grade on handicap debut at Windsor (2m, good to soft) in November and bumped into a big improver when second at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) last month; still has potential; major player.
Yet to make any significant progress since winning on hurdle debut in September but ran well in defeat here (2m, good) nine days ago and might have some untapped potential over this longer trip.
Showed promise in all three bumpers last season; unable to land a significant blow in three maiden/novice hurdles this term but caught the eye when keeping on steadily for modest fourth at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) last month and is open to improvement in handicaps.
Shaped well when fourth on what was effectively his seasonal debut at Southwell (2m, good to soft) last month and now just 3lb higher than for last season's clearcut win at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft); a possible.
