Four Flat wins, including two (1m2f-1m3f) for Ian Williams; runner-up in a Class 5 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in July; potential over hurdles in novice and maiden company back in 2024, so he could be interesting on handicap hurdle debut; first start for Olly Murphy.

Sole appearance here resulted in breakthrough win over this trip back in 2023; no subsequent wins until he rewarded good support at Ripon (1m) last May then went back-to-back over that C&D (also good) the following month; proved a disappointing favourite back at Ripon when last seen 443 days ago; heed the market signals on this comeback/stable debut.
