Bumper winner here and elsewhere in 2024-25 (good); just gently progressive in defeat in novice/maiden hurdles since over a year out, but chaser-laden pedigree (family of Our Vic) offers hope that he'll prove somewhat better over fences, as well he must granted an ungenerous initial mark.

Three wins at around 2m4f last season, all in small fields on good ground; after some blips he got himself back on track when second to a well-handicapped horse over C&D a month ago on first visit here; likely to run well with Shane Fenelon now taking off 5lb; one of three runners for a yard that's captured this eight times.
