Fair on the Flat at around 1m2f for the Kublers last year and made satisfactory stable/hurdle debut when fourth (albeit well held) against own age-group at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) in March; ideally needs to settle better but the forecast faster ground here ought to suit; each-way claims.

Two wins as a juvenile (6f, good/good to firm); couldn't add to that tally last year but he was gelded in May and went close three times at 7f (good to firm/AW) subsequently; returns on a competitive-looking mark and he's considered.
