Won a point-to-point bumper on debut in March (2m, heavy) and followed up on rules debut at Aintree (2m1f, good) in May; has since left Phil Rowley (remains in same ownership); his attractive pedigree suggests this step up in trip will be right up his street on his first run over hurdles.

Form & Verdict
Scant bumper-winning prowess in pedigree and both point successes have been gained over 3m around stayers' tracks, but found Exeter's stiff 16.5f on heavy sufficiently exacting to grind to victory in another point bumper last month; this sharper test concerns as much as the penalty.

Extraordinarily regally bred for one to have made its racecourse debut between the flags, being an ex-Godolphin gelding by a Derby winner out of an Oaks heroine; Flat-race speed there for all to see on last month's Ystradowen point Flat race debut win (good); argues a compelling case.
