Below par over hurdles at Market Rasen in July last time; however, he won the competitive Swinton Hurdle at Haydock (1m7f, good) in May and followed up in good style on the Flat at Kempton (2m, AW); lightly raced in this code and there remains potential in his mark judged on his bumper/hurdle form; effective on testing ground early in his career; could play a leading role.
