Not easy to catch right but refitted with cheekpieces when bagging a second success this season in 2m1f Bangor handicap chase last month; he needs to back it up now off a 4lb higher mark with the headgear again sported.

Won back-to-back minor hurdle races on good ground at Market Rasen but didn't look obviously well treated for handicap debut back there and ended up tailed off; that was not his true running but, off just 2lb lower, he faces no straightforward task unless improving for fences (bred for it).
