Shaped well behind an Olly Murphy-trained pair of debutants first time up at Wetherby 3 weeks ago after being gambled on. Should come on for that and leading claims.

Timeform
From a good family for connections, half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/very smart chaser Nuts Well and useful hurdler/smart chaser Runswick Royal. Promise on debut here (15/2) last month and will surely do better when sent jumping.

£40,000 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam fairly useful hurdler (2m-2½m winner). Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Nov 3). Needs keeping a close eye on.
