Commentary

Made great strides as a novice chaser last season when twice a winner at Kelso before an excellent second of 17 in National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham Festival (3¾m). Pulled up on final run in Scottish Grand National at Ayr but interesting on pick of last season's novice form. Yard quiet though.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
