The oldest horse in the race but one who cannot be dismissed in this company. He put in a very solid performance last year when winning the Grade Two Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr beating Anna Bunina by 3 ¾ length.
Has not shown a whole lot of progression since, but he was a very unlucky faller last time out in a Grade Three contest at Haydock.
He was closing the rest of the pack two furlongs out and fell so he has to be given another chance here if he remains on his feet.
Major player.
