Hasn't lived up to illustrious pedigree but possible improver now sprinting on h'cap debut

Back on song with a win at Kempton a fortnight ago; strong claims if repeating that form

0-7 but back to form when second at Chester recently and he's on the shortlist

Soundly beaten this spring in his two handicaps; gelded since; needs to turn things around
