Proved game over C&D on chase/seasonal debut, taking 2m3f record to 2-2; respected

Trying to challenge when nearly falling two out at Ffos Las on reappearance

Second-season chaser who ran well at Ascot most recently; remains of interest

This switch to chasing may have positive effect; stable also runs Royal Jewel
