1-5 over hurdles, the win gained in course maiden (2m4f, heavy) in January; flopped when warm favourite for chase/handicap debut the following month but could still have a good future over fences.

Got off the mark at the seventh attempt in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) last month; his respected trainer sends him straight over fences for his handicap debut and this unexposed 7yo could have a part to play.

Maiden Irish point winner who made a pleasing start over hurdles when third of seven finishers at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) in October; had wind surgery subsequently and showed improved form when beaten half a length in a Ffos Las maiden (2m4f, heavy) last month; looked a winner in waiting that day and should be hard to beat.

Looked to have a future when shaping well in an Irish bumper (good to yielding) and a C&D novice (soft); Ffos Las last time was a backward step but heavy ground there doesn't suit all horses; remains of interest.
