Finished eighth in two runs in France last year (not beaten far on debut) but he was out the back at 125-1 in a 7f novice here on his stable debut three weeks ago (Midnight Drive fourth); this should be more suitable but there are risks involved.

Soundly beaten in three juvenile/maiden hurdles on good to soft ground in the autumn then struggled to cope with heavy on handicap debut in January; needs to improve but was a Flat winner on good ground last spring and now gets to run on a sound surface for the first time in this sphere.

Ended 2024 on the up (a three-time AW winner at up to 1m2f) and he resumed from five months off with a promising third of 11 in 1m2f Lingfield handicap 22 days ago; a big player with his usual cheekpieces now refitted.
