Pretty consistent over fences and hurdles on good/good to soft ground this season and has slipped to a good mark; campaigned mainly at around 2m but has won over an extended 2m3f; probably won't be far away.

Fair efforts in the autumn across first three chase starts, finishing second last time (2m, good) despite not jumping well; on a handy mark on last season's best hurdle form; could be a contender now back in this sphere.

0-9 over hurdles in Ireland but was placed in 18-runner Cork maiden (2m1f, yielding) in July and signed off with fairly good effort over 2m2f six weeks ago; bought for £13,500 last month; likely contender on stable debut.
