Bumper winner; yet to strike over hurdles but his second handicap effort, when fourth over 2m here this month, suggested he may do so; was keeping on at the end of that race so going up in trip may well suit; contender.

Won twice over 2m4f in 2023 for Olly Murphy but his career has been punctuated by lengthy absences since; shaped as though retaining ability when returning from a break in November 2024 and again in two subsequent starts after a second wind operation, but absent again since February 2025; makes stable debut and not ruled out if fully tuned up.

Won over C&D and at Perth (2m4f) on good ground in summer 2023, and returned from long absence with good third at Leicester (1m7f, good to soft) in November (had wind op afterwards); there's a slight concern that today's conditions might be slower than he prefers but, nevertheless, he helps to give Olly Murphy a strong hand in this race.

Early promise in a bumper and novice hurdle for this yard but failed to fulfil it; two point wins for another trainer (along with some lesser efforts) over an 18-month spell ending in May but he dropped out back with Fergal O'Brien in June and goes chasing with a question to answer.
