Form & Verdict
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.

No ground worries but his career highlights (1m4f/1m6f) were in 2024, including a win in this race; 6lb lower today but that's after a rather muted 2025 when still with Roger Varian and his form went badly the wrong way in three runs this January-April for new connections; tongue-tie and/or cheekpieces, both fitted for the first time, need to work the oracle.
