Maiden hurdle winner (2m5f, good) in 2022 but lightly raced since; looked in need of the run when a well-held third at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) in January on second start over fences, returning from 413-day absence; remains with potential but, with another absence to overcome, others appeal more.

Two novice hurdle wins (made all in both) at the start of the year but twice well beaten in handicaps, the latest on last month's reappearance; half-brother to a chasing winner so may revive now over fences for first time.

Form & Verdict
Two hurdle wins last season, making all both times; easy Carlisle success in the first but gave backers a real fright at Kelso when last seen in April (1-14, just lasted home); chasing/handicap debut and this Irish point winner is likely to be seen to better effect over fences.
