Yet to make any further progress since winning a 2m Ludlow novice in March 2025 but posted a sound effort when second off today's mark at Hereford (2m, good) last month and is work another crack at this sort of trip.

Tailed off when 100-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut here (2m3f, soft; raced too freely) but came second in good-ground Irish point last spring and was running well before falling in good-ground novice hurdle in the autumn; back on forecast decent ground today; no surprise if he features.
