Grade 1-winning hurdler; had wind surgery prior to faultless chase debut at Newbury

Grade 1 winner over hurdles in France and has looked very exciting in his two chase wins

Outmuscled by a stronger stayer at Sandown; this sharper test at 3m promises to suit

Debut winner over fences but limitations then ruthlessly exposed behind Hermes Allen

Looks safely held by Hermes Allen and there are others to worry about

Chase defeats over shorter; 3m should be more his trip but this still looks a big ask
