The 25-year-old pole vaulter cleared 5.57m and then 5.67m - each at the third attempt - in Paris.
He was unable to clear 5.76m but it will boost his confidence for a big year ahead.

Coppell’s partner, high jumper Emily Borthwick, tweeted: “18 steps down and some nice consistency ready for a big outdoors! Proud of you @Harry_Coppell.”
