One of the most experienced runners in the race, debuting on the flat back in 2016 at Kempton Park. Began over hurdles in 2018 but failed to win over obstacles until 2019 in a class four at Wincanton before winning his next two races at Taunton and Plumpton.
He fell in the Grade Three Betfair Hurdle in 2020 and has yet to return to best form despite winning a class three at Kempton in November last year, beating Swaffham Bulbeck in the process.
He was fifth last time out behind fellow runners Djelo, Iceo and Hardy Du Seuil by a long distance and this is a difficult test amongst a big field.
