Kept on well for second on chase debut at Hereford (2m, good) in November but was pulled up on next outing and made low-key reappearance when third of five (probably only fourth best on merit) at Worcester (2m, good) last month; needs to up his game here. |

Won a 2m handicap hurdle here (good) in September 2024; pulled up in two of his four starts since but he was runner-up over fences at Hereford (2m, good) on his penultimate run; that form puts him in the picture and this unexposed chaser is not ruled out after another break. |
