It wasn't much of a bumper that he won at Warwick (2m, good) and then finished tailed off at Stratford after racing freely; clearly has ability, should make a hurdler and now goes in a tongue tie.

Opened chasing account at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month, despite tending to jump left; moves up from Class 5 today but that recent form has been well advertised by the runner-up since and this switch to a left-handed track may enable a better performance.

Showed little on the Flat in France and his two fourths over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien were remote (hooded for the latest); stable debut after nine months off; up against on these terms.

Big personal best over hurdles in June when running away with a 2m5f Market Rasen 0-100 (good; RPR 111); no Flat runs since 2021-22 in France and only ever once beaten under 20l, but British Flat mark appropriately realistic and he's a danger to all if recent cheer translates to this code.
