Season 1994-1995

He made his seasonal debut in the Tingle Creek Chase, where he was an impressive 3-1/2-length winner, before winning the Castleford Chase later that month. He then disappointed in his next three starts, finishing 5th in the Victor Chandler Chase, falling in the Game Spirit Chase and finishing 2nd in the Emblem Chase at Kempton, where he only failed by a length when giving away a stone in weight. He then went back to Cheltenham, where he was sent off the 5/2 favourote for the Queen Mother Champion Chase and justified that with 5 length victory over Deep Sensation. He ended the season on another high note at Aintree, where he won the Melling Chase at the same price.
