Won a 1m6f AW handicap off 1lb higher on his yard debut in November 2022; better known as a quite useful handicap hurdler since but he hasn't been seen since finishing a creditable third at Perth in August 2024; chance he'll be using this as a prep ahead of a return to hurdles but the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations. |
