Selected at: 5/4

Yet to finish outside of the first two in four starts over fences. Particularly impressive at Huntingdon last time out when scoring by just shy of 10 lengths. The third-placed horse boosted the form by winning his next start comfortably. Clearly progressive over the larger obstacles and this 9lb rise might be enough to stop him from going in again.
