Scored three times (around 2m) over hurdles in 2024; very lightly raced since and he failed to build on an encouraging reappearance Wetherby third when sixth of eight in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in December; reportedly finished lame there so worth another chance in this grade.

Form figures of 3111 in handicaps since joining Olly Murphy on ground ranging from good to soft to heavy; defied a nine-month absence at Leicester in December and that form has worked out well; up another 7lb and drying ground is an unknown, but dangerous to dismiss.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish 5yo who has poor Flat form for current yard; however, shaped better than bare result over 2m4f here on the return to hurdles, leaving the impression this drop back in trip will suit; interesting.

Pulled up on chasing debut in January (wore cheekpieces) and did not see out 3m on heavy ground when back over hurdles here (first-time blinkers) last month; current mark is workable and this drop back in trip looks the right move but others in the field have much less to prove.
