Lightly raced 6yo; could take step forward with cheekpieces back on for second chase start

Respectable so far over fences but needs something extra if he's to come out on top
8	Frisby Bay J:Brian Hughes T:Patrick Neville	J:Brian Hughes T:Patrick Neville	152	tp	3-3423	109	131	120	39d	—	—	+8	20.5	1.25/1	5/1 17%
0-8 under rules (0-3 over fences) but close third at Kelso latest and could be thereabouts

Won at Hexham in October but mistakes have proved costly on next two starts

Pulled up on chase debut but very lightly raced and retains potential for good yard

Beat in-form opponent to win at Catterick on second chase start and he's one to consider
