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.

Made the breakthrough when scoring over fences at Wincanton (3m1f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in April 2024 but not seen since falling two out (was second and closing) over that C&D six months later; has since switched stables (same owners) and market might help on this reversion to hurdles after 504 days away.

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.

Creditable second behind well-handicapped rival here (2m, soft) in November and will be fine over today's longer trip but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon, and needs first-time cheekpieces to help him rebound from a poor run over fences a fortnight ago.
