Has raced very freely on both hurdling starts but it didn't stop him dominating from the front at Worcester (2m, good) this month; that form isn't anything to get too excited about but he has plenty of scope for further progress and this track ought to suit his running style.

Form & Verdict
Bare form among his hurdle completions in 2021 gives him claims but jumps career was put on hold after he unseated last July; winner of 1m novice on the Flat the following month but mixed since and first-time cheekpieces were no help two weeks ago; hard to predict at present.
