Wind surgery before second and first in soft-ground handicaps in December for new yard, latterly over 3m2f at Warwick; fourth of 11 there three weeks later was creditable on form but showed that he now needs improvement; withdrawn when the ground was officially good at Bangor four weeks ago.

Odds-on when third of four runners on his British point debut and then runner-up next time; joined a good yard for rules action but others appeal more.

Runner-up in British maiden point (2m4f, good) last December on second start and, following £100,000 sale, occupied same position in bumper at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) in April; open to improvement and he could have a part to play in a first-time tongue-tie on hurdle debut.
