Made a winning return last term and repeated the feat this time around, beating 4 rivals at Hereford (19.7f) in December. Sub-par both starts since, though.

Smart performance when becoming the first dual winner of the Coral Cup (Handicap) at Cheltenham Festival and backed it up with a tremendous effort when third to Impaire Et Passe at Aintree last time, arguably unlucky not to win having suffered interference late. Worth chancing to turn the tables.
