An exciting force since joining current stable and sent beyond 2m, gaining impressive wins at Haydock (2m3f handicap) and Cheltenham (2m4f Grade 2) then shaping like the best horse in the Grade 1 Stayers' Hurdle (3m) until his tank emptied late on; the one to beat, back down in trip.
Completed a 2m3f handicap double at Ascot last season; best effort since when second in useful event at Windsor (2m4f) on last appearance, leaving the impression today's scenario will prove ideal; could go well.
Dual Grade 2 winner last term; finished third at the same level on penultimate start but was behind Kabral Du Mathan and stablemate Jingko Blue in that Cheltenham race; seems set for another bronze medal at best.
Form dipped in Cheltenham Festival handicap returned to fences last time; multiple Grade 2 winner but has raced mostly at about 2m and isn't crying out for this step back up in trip; first go beyond a sharp 2m4f.
Has shown good form over 2m4f/2m5f at Cheltenham this term, finishing second to Kabral Du Mathan in Grade 2 and recording an emphatic success from the front in Festival handicap; failed to get home in 3m Grade 1 at Aintree last time; one of the main contenders, back down in distance.
