Sets the standard here following a decent first season over hurdles and can run as a novice having not won over hurdles yet. Excellent efforts when placed at Ascot and in a decent handicap hurdle at Sandown his form is pretty solid. A final run in the Grade 1 at Aintree where is again ran a nice race and whilst some are officially rated higher due to winning lesser races over the summer, his form looks very much the strongest and sets a fair level for the others to reach, along with his stable running very well.
