Dual hurdle winner (heavy/good) for Gary Moore and later competitive in handicap company for Adam West, for whom he signed off with a remote third on chase debut at Sandown (1m7f handicap); only a 6yo and could retain some potential in this discipline, though needs improvement on these terms.

Form & Verdict
Ridden out to score over C&D (novices', good) in October; absent until returning for handicap debut at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) recently, pulling up after losing his action approaching the home turn; strong in the market there, so interesting to see if he can bounce back.

Ex-Godolphin; made all, jumping well for back-to-back juvenile wins Newbury and Plumpton (2m, soft), but came up well short when folding tamely on handicap debut at Sandown (last of eight, beaten 64l) six weeks ago; set to encounter sounder surface here, albeit with stamina to prove.
