Made hay in small-field novice events this season, including 4 victories over fences at up to 21f. Limitations have been exposed in Graded company though, well-held third in Grade 1 Kauto Star at Kempton on Boxing Day. Bit to find with Stage Star on these terms. Engaged 1.20 Cheltenham Sunday.
Challow Hurdle winner last season who quickly made up for disappointing efforts at the spring festivals with a impressive performance on chase debut at Warwick on return. Failed to land odds in Grade 2 at Newbury since but can quickly resume winning ways.

Forecasts
Stage Star (1/9), Mortlach (11/2)
STAGE STAR disappointed in a Grade 2 at Newbury given how impressive he was at Warwick but has an excellent opportunity to quickly resume winning ways on these terms.
