Looked quite promising when winning 2m novice hurdle in early 2023 but returned from long absence with three disappointing handicap hurdle runs this year; switches to fences with first-time cheekpieces fitted today.

Looked a nice prospect when winning at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in February last year; outclassed in Grade 2 at Kempton 11 days later and likely needed March's return from nearly a year away when down the field on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, soft); better can be expected with that run behind him but he has a bit to prove at present.

Form & Verdict
Second foal from a fair hurdle winner; tailed off in heavy-ground Taunton bumper for Jack Barber in March 2020 and not seen again since but her new trainer's excellent bumper strike-rate (27%) makes her well worth a glance in the betting; no hood this time.

Generally very disappointing since winning Perth bumper for Gordon Elliott last spring, and his tendency to race far too freely remains a concern; never looked dangerous with sixth in C&D maiden nine days ago; others preferred.
