Ex-Irish maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 11 in 2m6f Fontwell handicap in November; no forlorn hope off a 3lb lower mark after a break.

Came back to some form with the addition of a tongue-tie when a 3.5l fourth to Dartmouth Rose over C&D 12 days ago; weighted to go close and likely to be in the mix again.

Showed some promise in two bumpers last spring but he's failed to go on over hurdles, only seventh of nine in 2m novice here in January; steps up markedly in trip for his handicap debut though and could still do better.

£20,000 3yo who easily landed the odds in a point bumper at Larkhill in January; 7-1 but beaten nearly 20l when ninth on his rules debut at Newbury (also good; led before weakening) in March; that was a valuable event, however, and he still sets the standard on that form; tongue tie goes on.

Won twice in a visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) last summer; untested beyond that trip and absent since respectable second of three in the autumn (without headgear, as today) but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up.
