16-race maiden; 90 lengths last of nine on his sole start over fences; makes little appeal.

Second in handicap hurdle at Tramore last April but that looks a one off given his overall profile; tailed off in two starts since; others preferred.

The consistency of his summer 2024 campaign has long deserted him, the return to the mark of October's Exeter win (2m2f, good to firm) owed to three poor runs since; others convince more.

Won in a small field at Exeter (2m2f, good to firm) in October but holding his form is becoming troublesome; risky enough.

Won three in a row for Alan Jones in 2024 and now returns to former trainer after three defeats for Richard Hawker, which included one placed effort; nothing wrong with his mark.
