The tongue-tie has made a difference and he completed a Hexham four-timer five days ago (2m4f, good); only two others got round but he's on a roll and might be well in with a penalty.

Has done well since tongue-tie went on, winning his last three races, all of them on good ground here, two at this trip and the latest at 3m; has gone up 16lb (6lb higher than last time); contender.

Two recent 2m4f wins here (good) owed to the return to positive tactics down in trip; does stay further, though didn't when pulling up behind Killybegs Jet Lady and Dr Shirocco over C&D early last month.

Over four years since he won back-to-back handicap hurdles for Brian Hamilton; lightly raced in recent seasons; bounced back to form on second start for Noel Kelly when second to Kalsman over 2m4f at Down Royal last month; notched another second behind the improving Bella Union over 2m1f at Down Royal on latest; may go one better now.

Lightly raced since Listed bumper win in February 2023; ran as though something was amiss when upped to 2m4f for handicap debut in August but battled well for narrow success in Worcester maiden hurdle (2m, good) two starts ago and remains open to further improvement if back on song here.
