Showed ability for Tim Dennis last year, as when second of 14 at Taunton (3m, good) in April; beaten a very long way in only completed start for previous yard but, having changed hands again (for 7,000gns) in December, is well worth a market check starting out for Olly Murphy after 140 days off; drying ground may help.

Started off for Olly Murphy with three hurdle wins this spring (2m6f-2m7f); well beaten on chasing debut in July but travelled strongly for a long way before fading into fourth at Stratford (3m3f, good to firm) last month, and today's drop back in trip looks the right move; shortlisted.
