In decent form when last seen on the Flat for Michael Bell but has been hurdling since December 2024 for this yard; did well as a juvenile in that sphere but last season didn't go well; mark fine if this return to the Flat perks him up.

Despite again hanging left may have gone closer than a 2l third at Exeter latest (2m6f, good) but for whacking two out; stayers' trip asks a new question, but some appeal whilst still just below a winning mark.
