Dual Flat winner in UK; three hurdle runs for this yard with best effort coming on the first try; needs to get back to his best form but can't be ruled out.

Difficult to win with in recent years, now 7lb lower than when last successful at Southwell (1m) in August 2024; met trouble when sixth (beaten over 4l) here on penultimate start, but latest Leicester effort was less encouraging.

It's now 17 outings since his last success but he arrives on the back of a respectable sixth of 11 in 1m Newcastle handicap last month; easing in the weights and no forlorn hope.

Regular 1m placings here and at Southwell since September; form dipped on latest outing, however, and there's been no win since August 2024.
