Has come good off his much reduced mark and a 4lb rise for Hereford last time is more than fair (2m, good); one of his career-best runs was on soft so rain won't bother him.

Struck twice over hurdles (2m, good) in the second half of 2022 and he showed he stays this far when second of 13 at Kempton last spring; might have needed a run on the Flat two months ago after nearly a year off; not ruled out but others have more obvious claims.

Second in an Irish point last February (only two finished), after which he was sold for £80,000; two hurdle runs for this yard have seen him not get home over an extended 2m3f here; could rate higher now dropped in trip and handicapping but he will need more to defy this mark.
