Promising fourth on second chase attempt and there should be further improvement to come

Both wins have come here; respectable in defeat the last twice and not far away

Beaten fav in previous chase two years ago; hurdling form is much respected

5-12 over hurdles; comeback run could have put him spot-on for today's chase debut

Picked up a weak novice hurdle; pointing background bodes well for this switch to fences
