Buckled down well to win on second bumper start, at Market Rasen last June; was aiming high on hurdle debut at Newbury recently (2m, soft) when one of the rank outsiders but she kept on stoutly to take a late, if remote, fourth; looks sure to improve for the step up in trip.

Came good under rules with two chase wins towards end of last season (2m3f/2m4f) and was running big race before penultimate-fence fall at Wetherby (2m3f, good) in November; slightly disappointing when well-held second in novice hurdle last month but was given a wind op (his second) soon afterwards; has possibilities if combination of drop back in trip and first-time blinkers gets the best out of him.

Won course bumper on rules debut in November 2021 and ran to fair level when making the frame three times over hurdles in early part of last year (2m-2m5f); unlucky to be brought down on seasonal/handicap debut in November but ran in snatches and was below par when fourth in C&D maiden in December; needs to travel more sweetly in first-time cheekpieces today.

Every chance when falling at final fence in sole Irish point (3m, soft) and he improved for his bumper debut third (2m, good) when winning a maiden hurdle at Doncaster (2m5f, good to soft) last month; shaped like a stayer last time and could continue to progress now up in trip; a possible.
