Beaten a minimum of 40l in three novice attempts; handicap debut and worth remembering that he recorded an RPR of 82 when winning a 1m4f AW race in March 2022; interesting to see how he fares in the betting against stable companion Tara Iti.

Four-time hurdle winner who has form figures of 11631 at Fontwell; has mixed record this season but he went close at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) on his penultimate run and was rallying in a close fifth when he unseated two out at Kempton (2m, good) last time; one of two runners for the yard and he's an interesting contender back at this track.
