Came good with ready win in C&D maiden in May 2022 and followed up in Kelso novice later that month; made low-key seasonal debut in June but might have needed that outing and can't be ruled out; would probably prefer good ground but has won on good to soft.

Winning pointer and third of 20 in Punchestown maiden on hurdles debut; clearly flattered by odds-on second to Ahoy Senor at Ayr in March 2021 and was then well beaten when odds-on at Carlisle; that latest run was too bad to be true and he's up to winning something like this.

Showed that he retained spark when fourth of five at Ayr (3m, soft) in January, when he made a bad mistake and jumped to the right at that left-handed track; goes right-handed today; however, tailed off in Grade 2 novice hurdle since and best form has come on soft/heavy going; a visor goes on.
