Placed in two Irish points last spring and on both rules starts in March and April, latterly when second here (2m, good) on hurdle debut; ought to be suited by this longer trip and has less to prove than his rival.
Showed some fairly useful form last autumn but his handicap debut in December was disappointing and he was again below par when a short-odds second in Plumpton maiden (2m, good) last month; should be fine over this longer trip but has a point to prove.
