Made it fourth-time lucky in Irish points when scoring on soft ground last November and he was bought for £36,000 the following month; out of a 2m4f hurdle winner and he's an interesting contender on his rules/stable debut.

Form & Verdict
4yo who had two runs at Pau in France last winter; ran well for long way over hurdles on his debut and he backed that up with a promising second over fences (2m2f, both on very soft); now makes his British debut after 309 days off but yard is in good form and he's a key player back in this sphere.

Right back to form on last month's second start after 16 months out, just holding on in a Uttoxeter Class 4 (3m, good to soft); form of that win remains untested, but 4lb rise probably fair; effective on good also.

Improvement every time, finding the most when upped to 3m for an impressive handicap win at Newbury (good to soft; acts on soft) in December; may well have followed up at Cheltenham (3m, heavy) on New Year's Day but for blundering when travelling strongly at the final flight; 5lb rise rubs salt in the wounds but he could be a very useful prospect.

Had a spell in the doldrums for previous yard, so was well treated on debut for this one at Hereford (2m5f, good) in May when having a match in safe keeping from a fair way out; that form amounted to little (second well below best then and since) but this one has gone back up just 2lb and should stay this first attempt beyond 2m5f under rules.
