Acts on heavy; overall record is 5-7; Grade 2 winner over hurdles; campaigned only at about 2m but he is bred to be suited by this new trip; has form figures of F11 since switched to fences, the wins in novice handicaps, latest at Cheltenham where he easily beat a subsequent scorer; improving 5yo who is a big player on the figures.

Fairly useful and consistent performer at up to 1m4f on Flat for James Ferguson, most recently a game winner at Pontefract in September; sold for 90,000gns since; the type to make a productive juvenile hurdler but this is a difficult-looking initial task.

A poor show last May prompted a second wind operation and it was a solid campaign otherwise; never better than when second this February in 2m AW handicaps at Wolverhampton and Lingfield, but peak turf form isn't far behind it and he'll probably be on the premises.

Bounced back with a win at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in December but he was tailed off in next two starts and he didn't get very far at Newbury (fell at third) last time; has plenty to prove again and he's still 3lb higher than for his last win.

Showed career-best form when winning readily by 4l at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) in December; subsequent lesser effort in major Kempton handicap is not viewed harshly but 2m7f on soft ground will take his stamina into unknown territory.

Went close on stable debut in big field at Ascot (1m7f, soft) in December then won at Sandown (2m, good) in January, turning the tables on Dance And Glance who won a nice prize at Haydock this month; 5lb out of the handicap today and pulled up in the William Hill Hurdle at Newbury in February, but very few ran to form in that attritional contest; retains potential; chance.

Overall record (Flat/hurdles) is 5-11; couple of very sound performances this term for new stable, nearly collaring Dance And Glance at Ascot (1m7f, soft) then reversing placings with that rival in comfortable fashion at Sandown (2m, good); open to further progress and has strong claims.

Useful on the Flat, won 1m4f Salisbury handicap in 2023 off a mark of 88; more off days than on in the meantime but soft ground no help on recent yard debut after nearly two years off; worth a market check off a very low mark now back on more suitable ground; cheekpieces refitted.
