Form & Verdict
Did not progress after his winning hurdle debut in spring 2022 but placed in three of four handicaps this year, most recently when second at Hexham (2m7f, good; first-time cheekpieces; first run after wind op) last month; still unexposed over this sort of trip; probably won't be far away.
