Fair Flat racer who has improved with experience over hurdles and was seemingly relaxed by first-time hood when winning a Worcester maiden (2m, good to soft) last month; that form has recently been given a good boost by the runner-up and this fellow could have a lot more to offer in handicap hurdles.

Made the frame in two bumpers but looks less solid on hurdles form that comprises a late fall (6l down at the time) and poor effort; however, certainly has ability so could go well.
