Won on the Flat for Hughie Morrison in 2024 but was soundly beaten at triple-digit odds in three novice hurdles for Sheila Lewis in 2024-25 season; makes stable/handicap hurdle debut after 462-day absence; could be considered only if lively in the betting.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten when upped to 1m6f last time but it was his first run beyond 1m2f and he failed to see it out; in good form over 1m2f on Newcastle AW in May/June and he's shown promise on turf in the past (on good/soft ground); the one to beat on today's terms if he's at his best.

Two wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) this year, including on his latest start last month; 2lb out of the handicap today and he's 0-13 on turf, but has been placed a few times on grass and is not discounted.

Just 2-33 but both wins have come here, the latest over C&D last month; found to be lame when down the field two days later and 7f looked too sharp when third here three weeks ago; he's one to consider now back up in trip.
