Runner-up in a big-field bumper at Cork in April 2021 but he's been generally disappointing in six runs since; now goes handicapping after wind surgery but he's been off for almost a year and has something to prove for another new yard.

Struggled to get competitive in three juvenile hurdles last winter and is 6lb out of the weights for today's handicap debut; clearly needs to take a big step forward, but is still worth a glance in the betting.

Form & Verdict
Sole Flat win came in France back in May 2021 but he's unexposed over hurdles and was an encouraging second behind a runaway winner at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) last month; this is more realistic on his handicap hurdle debut and he should have more to offer in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Pulled up in both Irish points and he's 0-5 over hurdles; promising second in a 2m4f maiden here (good) in June but he's not gone on from that and was disappointing at Uttoxeter last week; bit to prove but he raced freely last time and this drop back to 2m is worth exploring.

Never looked dangerous when well-held fourth over C&D (good) on last month's stable debut and is effectively on the same mark today but that was his first start since September 2023 and there's a good chance he'll come on for the run; cheekpieces refitted.
