Progressive on the Flat last year; tailed off on hurdle debut at Stratford last month before 32l third over this C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago, behind two useful sorts; this race should take a lot less winning.

His autumn progress on the Flat for George Boughey came at an ordinary level but he won three times (1m4f/2m) and there's every chance he'll make a hurdler; not ruled out on first run since changing hands for 20,000gns.
