Won juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) on New Year's Day and made the frame in Listed race and series final over that C&D on next two starts (both good to soft); has fitness to prove after six-month absence but could still have more improvement to come over hurdles.

Tongue-tie went on for six-runner handicaps on his last two hurdle races (2m1f/2m) and he won them both; his last Flat race was in 2024 for Tim Easterby and that was a pretty solid campaign; acts on Tapeta, unraced on Polytrack; needs to be at his best on return to Flat but no shock if he's a major player.
