Promising effort at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) in February 2023 but wide-margin defeats in just three subsequent goes and finished a well-held sixth of six on recent chase/handicap debut (first-time cheekpieces now replaced with blinkers); has a bit to prove reverting to hurdles although the step back up in trip will help.
