Form & Verdict
Ended last season with a poor run (first-time visor) but returned from five-month break with clear win at Statford (2m5f, good to firm; no headgear) on Tuesday; still lightly raced over fences and won't mind if the ground is slower; obvious contender under 7lb penalty.

Sole win was over hurdles in 2021; hurtling down the weights this summer for new yard and some ability remains, including when back to chasing in first-time cheekpieces on latest start, so he's not entirely dismissed.
