Won two in a row last spring but failed to shine on his two runs in the autumn

Of interest on his good second at Market Rasen in October but down the field twice since

Southwell win last month; lesser run since but it may have come too soon; on the shortlist

Pulled hard when well beaten on h'cap debut but he's lightly raced and retains potential

2nd of four over fences at Leicester latest; this longer trip could suit now back hurdling
