Dual purpose sort who hasn't stood much racing since winning here (2m4f, soft) in July 2024; first run in this sphere since when a faller at Hereford in December; may need further and softer conditions to be at his best.

Showed promise in Irish points but he struggled in first three hurdle runs and was only fifth of 11 on handicap debut over C&D (heavy; tongue-tie added) in January; still has potential but he needs to raise his game after a break.

In excellent form in second half of 2024, winning three good-ground handicap hurdles (2m3f-2m5f) in a row; also has form on slower ground and could quite plausibly have more improvement to come over fences at some stage but this chasing debut comes after a 458-day absence.

Form & Verdict
Began rules career with two encouraging runs this spring, latterly when third over C&D (good to soft) in May; well held in another novice here last time but he's still unexposed and this is more realistic on handicap debut; needs watching in market.
