0-6 over hurdles when based in Ireland and absent since two down-the-field handicap runs last April (2m3f/2m4f), but still worth a glance in the betting before this stable debut; tongue-tie added.

Impressed when winning a bumper at this venue on debut in February 2022; ran only once last season after a long absence; made a pleasing return when leading for a long way on his hurdling debut at Cork, ending up third behind the market principals; reportedly pulled a shoe in running; strong contender if building on that.
