Well beaten in three 2m hurdles and this is a completely different test on chase/handicap debut, but his pedigree suggests the greater test of stamina should suit; market informative.
Won his first three starts over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f) for this yard and has run with credit in both outings since; failed to complete in all five previous starts over fences, though was running a big race before falling on the final occasion; worth a second look.
Winning pointer but 0-17 under rules, albeit was only beaten a length over C&D (good to soft) last time; up 3lb but holds each-way claims again with cheekpieces added.
Yet to win but was still in with every chance before falling two out on his second chase start over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; possibilities off the same mark with cheekpieces given a go.
Has shown ability over hurdles, running a big race when fourth of 16 on his return from 202 days off at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last month; return to this trip no problem on chase debut and he's respected with a tongue-tie given a go.
Quiet in two starts for this yard since returning from 16 months off in September, but is back off the same mark as when winning a novice handicap over C&D on this card for Tim Easterby two years ago; worth market check.
Won twice over 3m2f at Fontwell (good) and Newton Abbot (good to soft) in October, but was well held off this mark at Wincanton (3m3f, good to soft; behind Sheeka Supreme) this month; needs to bounce back.
Winning pointer, but 0-10 under rules and may not have achieved much when fourth of 11 at Wincanton (3m3f, good to soft) this month; hard to fancy from out of the weights.
Caused a 150-1 shock at Stratford (3m4f, good to soft) in April last year, but that's his only win in 64 starts; well out of the weights and makes little appeal.
