0-8 over hurdles but runner-up twice over C&D on fast ground since returning from a break in May; won't mind if there's rain about and ought to be right in the thick of things again.

Galway festival winner in 2024 but hasn't matched that level since and has been well beaten on four of his five starts for this yard this year, latest when a 16l fourth to Mi Sueno over C&D last month; remains with plenty to find with that rival despite better terms.

Useful on the Flat a couple of years ago and won a small-field maiden hurdle last month, after a layoff; weakened into fourth after making most of the running on recent handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) but still considered.

Quite useful on the Flat and returned from a long absence to win a small-field maiden at Newton Abbot a month ago (2m2f, good to firm); difficult to gauge what he achieved there but brings potential into handicaps off what should be a good mark.
