Third in last years G1 Baring Bingham Novices Hurdle here. Two-time chase winner including the 4200m G1 Faugheen Novice Chase by 8L two runs back. Big chance.

Solid 3.75L third in the G1 Kauto Star Novices Chase (4800m) at Kempton Park before an easy 22L success over 4800m at Ayr (novices chase). Ran fifth in last years G1 Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle. Can add to the recent impressive results.
