Fairly useful Flat-racer who won twice over 7f on Tapeta in the autumn; not seen since a lesser effort in January, though, and his stamina for hurdling is not assured.

Narrow win at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) in July and went very close at Nottingham (6f, heavy) next time; this is more competitive but this 3yo is not ruled out each-way now back down in distance, having run well before fading over 7f at Carlisle last Wednesday.
