Ex-Irish 8yo who is lightly raced; his Irish hurdles win was at 2m3f on heavy; chase win at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in December on stable debut and ran respectably here (2m1f, soft) next time, but his step back up to 2m4f at Carlisle on latest start was disappointing.

Returned from layoff with two good efforts over fences last autumn but the rest of last season's chasing form was disappointing; now hurdling for first time since 2023; on good mark (even from 2lb out of the weights) but needs to have refreshed by latest break.

Something to prove having been pulled up at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) latest; however, his chase debut fifth at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in December wasn't devoid of promise, when jumping to the left at that right-handed track, and this lightly raced 6yo is not written off now in cheekpieces.
