2m maiden hurdle (good) winner here in January; disappointed on heavy ground over C&D after but bounced back when a staying-on third on handicap debut at Ludlow (2m, good) last time, suggesting he'd be worth another try at this trip; respected back in a novice with Chad Bament claiming 7lb.

Well held in his sole bumper, in December 2024, and he's offered little in two starts over hurdles (2m-2m2f), both on good to soft, since returning from a long absence.

Runner-up in an Irish 3m point behind a subsequent good hurdle winner; has since shaped with promise in a Wincanton bumper and maiden hurdle (1m7f; good) for this stable, the latter following wind surgery; not beaten far on any of those occasions and there could be a good bit of improvement forthcoming now going up in trip.

Showed some promise in a Chepstow bumper (soft) last month but he weakened markedly upped in trip on hurdle debut there (2m7f, good to soft) since, when running too freely; drop back in trip may suit but likely needs more time and experience before showing his best.

Showed promise when runner-up in one of three bumpers in 2024 but he's only managed the two runs since, pulling up on hurdle debut last March and finishing tailed off when returning from an absence 18 days ago for new yard.

1-11 in Irish points but his recent efforts have been uninspiring back from an absence and he changed hands for £2,000 in March; faces a tough task on stable/rules debut.

French hurdle winner (2m1f, very soft) in June, but he disappointed when sent off a short-priced favourite on stable debut at Kempton (2m, good) in November; off since but he's been given wind surgery and it would be no surprise should he leave that effort behind.
