Aintree bumper winner; 80-1 and cheekpieces fitted, showed promise on his hurdling debut, despite beating only one, in 2m Kempton Grade 2 in February; not the easiest to assess but he must enter calculations on his comeback.

Form & Verdict
Looked a useful prospect for Jessica Harrington when making all in 1m7f novice hurdle at Kilbeggan in April; since changed hands for 28,000gns and he merits serious consideration for his new yard with Brian Hughes up.

Made all in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (1m7f, good to yielding) in April on his fourth and final start for Jessica Harrington; 10l second in Sedgefield novice (2m4f, good) on stable debut in September; unexposed and wears a first-time tongue-tie, but improvement is needed on handicap debut.

Modest 1m4f Flat winner who has shown similar form in two runs in this sphere, jumping none too fluently when fourth of five at Stratford (2m) 24 days ago; he may do better still but needs to.
