Back from long absence for new stable this year and proved he retains significant ability when close fourth at Newbury (2m, good) in March; claims on that evidence but ran poorly last month (had wind op soon afterwards) and needs to put that behind him.

Began hurdling career with comfortable novice win at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in September and may not have been ideally suited by the soft ground when well-held second on handicap debut at Ludlow (2m) in November; should still have more to offer but his fitness has to be taken on trust here.
