There seems to be plenty of positives going for him ahead of his second start on a racecourse after winning on debut 17 days ago.

Improvement is likely so should be tough to beat once more despite the penalty.

Trainer also has an impressive 35.48% strike rate with horses making their 2nd start in the month of May.

He was an expensive recruit from the Irish points and won well at Sandown back in December.

It's interesting to see that money came for him in Class 2 company last time out and although he didn't quite back that support up, he could well run a big race down in Class today.

Yard are also in solid form ahead of this which further enhances his chances.

Has been well supported in his last few starts but hasn't quite backed that up so is chanced here on what will be his debut over fences.

Both trainer and jockey do well at this track and overall the yard are in flying form of late so Sandy Thomson's horses must be of interest.

He also knows how to get one right when they switch from hurdles to fences so this double figure price of 11/1 looks value.
