Useful at around 1m4f on the Flat at his best but ran as though something was amiss on both outings in the spring and it takes a leap of faith to support him on this hurdling debut; blinkers the headgear of choice today.

Hearty strike-rate on turf, adding another in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; less of a win machine on AW but both wins have come on this track, over C&D and 1m4f in early 2024, and he was involved in a tight finish back on AW at Wolverhampton two starts ago; not far away.
