Dual hurdle winner but 0-13 on the Flat; didn't offer a great deal in points and a hunter chase for Tom Fife in the spring; others are preferred unless the betting speaks in his favour starting out for Phil Kirby.

J: Paul O’Brien

T: Harry Derham

Some ability in defeat on the Flat; similar sort of form in his first three completed runs over hurdles before running no race last time at Haydock; handled soft on the Flat but now gets the chance to show what he can do on very different ground (soft or heavy so far over hurdles) and it coincides with his handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Ended his time with Ross O'Sullivan in Ireland with a very good second in 2m1f Killarney juvenile in August but he's yet to match that effort in two starts for his current yard; he needs to take a big step forward.

Best form was in Ireland, notably when pushing the smart Nurburgring close in a maiden in August (2m1f, yielding to soft); hasn't approached that level in three British runs but he's potentially well-in for handicap debut.
