Won 2m5f novice hurdle in February 2022; below form in his three runs (the latest was over hurdles) for new yard and it's hard to know when he will click again but he needs a market check.

Form & Verdict
3-5 over hurdles since joining Harry Fry, with the wins gained on soft, good and heavy; good second one month ago on latest hurdles start; has had only five races on Flat, all in France and the latest in February 2021, failing to achieve much but he must be of much greater interest today.
