Won a maiden at Market Rasen in July and a novice at Hexham the following month over around 2m4f but form has dipped since handicapping on his last two starts; blinkers replace cheekpieces on this drop in distance and he needs to be taken seriously in this low grade.

Dual bumper winner on good ground and encountered the same conditions for his two placed efforts over hurdles (2m/2m4f); RPRs leave with a fair bit to find with Jackson Lamb, though the addition of cheekpieces could help his jumping which hasn't been foot perfect; he was taken out of a soft-ground engagement.
