reportedly underwent a wind operation prior to race 4165 and looks like one to keep onside after comprehensively turning around form from that race with Marlos Moment, particularly as he is not yet the finished article, still green when initially asked for his effort 2 out but quickly settling the issue to win with plenty in hand; he'll make a chaser when the time comes.

raced too freely on his first try beyond 2m, given his head early on the second circuit and in a clear lead by the fifth, but already a spent force when falling 2 out.

shaped much better than on his hurdling debut, disputing the lead from after 4 out until unable to find a change of gear from the last; he is well worth a try at 2½m.

Jumps: strong gelding: winning hurdler: very smart chaser at best: best recent effort when ½-length second of 9 to Felix Yonger in Boylesports.com Champion Chase at Punchestown in 2015/16: off 4 months, well held last time: stays 21f: acts on heavy going: has worn cheekpieces: wears tongue tie: usually finds little.
