Signed off for Christian Williams with win in three-runner novice hurdle in spring 2023; unseated rider at second fence when reappearing for new stable in recent handicap chase and remains a tricky horse to weigh up, but it won't be a surprise if he plays a significant role here; unraced on ground slower than good to soft.

Finished lame when beating one other finisher in a 2m5f Fontwell maiden hurdle in May 2023 (good); achieved more when second in his previous race, a 2m7f maiden at Chepstow (good to soft); same owners but in a new yard and interesting chase/handicap debutant despite the long absence.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in three of four bumpers, perhaps the pick of those efforts here in January; hurdle debut after three months off and step up in trip ought to suit on pedigree; good enough to go close if taking to it.

Ended string of heavy defeats when third in first-time cheekpieces here (3m1f, good; handes soft) last month but didn't find much in the closing stages, and it's hard to tell whether he'll build on that performance.

Only 1-24 and that win was nearly two years ago; he was in no form earlier this year and plenty depends on whether cheekpieces can trigger something; he's dropped to a good mark.

Sole win came off just 1lb higher in May 2024; some creditable efforts subsequently but his hurdling has often held him back and he's been tailed off all three starts since January.
