Record of 1-18 over hurdles but he returned after 510 days off with a second at Southwell (2m4f, good) two weeks ago; that was a good effort behind an improver and he's a player if he can build on that.

Sole win came in the summer of 2023, over 2m4f on good ground; chasing never went to plan two seasons ago but he ran well back over hurdles on final sighting in late 2024; what form he'll be in after an absence is anyone's guess, so best to let the betting guide; tongue-tie added.

All three of his wins came in autumn 2022; running creditably this season, including over 3m2f, but he could not hold his own in a valuable handicap at Ascot on latest occasion and it's likely to be the same story today unless first-time cheekpieces receive a very positive response.
