Made a solid start to hurdling career on good ground; second on handicap debut at Newbury in November and went one better next time in taking fashion at Wetherby (again about 3m on soft) in February; raised 7lb but it's easy to think he has significantly more to give.

Ran well under penalties after winning his first bumper and has the benefit of hurdling experience after chasing home a well-touted horse (promising) at Chepstow (2m, good); faces nothing of that one's calibre here and very hard to oppose.

Form & Verdict
Won comfortably on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, good to yielding) in May and bought for £80,000 later that month; makes rules debut in a first-time tongue-tie having had wind surgery; likely to come into his own further down the line but could still be a serious force today.

Won his final two starts last season (2m3f/2m4f, soft/good to soft) and there's every chance this 7yo will get back on track at some stage; however, he's been disappointing on his three outings this term and it's hard to be confident regarding his claims today.

Ended last term with maiden (on soft) and handicap wins, latterly at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) in April; disappointing on both starts this term but was struck into last time and has also since had wind surgery; additionally, he's now upped in trip and has tongue-tie and cheekpieces for the first time, so there could be explanations aplenty were he to stage a revival.

Still raw last season according to his trainer so encouraging that he could follow up his maiden win with a comfortable handicap debut at Perth (2m4f, good to soft); raised 9lb for that Class 4 success and this is appreciably stronger, but everything would suggest that he's going to get better.
