Operates at an ordinary level now; found heavy ground against him when out of the weights at Chester on Friday but had previously run two good races over 2m for new yard and he remains of interest at this level.

Came good at fifth attempt, in six-runner handicap at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) in June; both subsequent runs (1m6f/1m5f) were perfectly respectable and the new cheekpieces might squeeze out something extra here.

Consolidated last month's Chepstow success (1m4f, good to firm) with a staying-on fourth over 1m6f at Yarmouth latest; further 1lb rise not ideal, but earlier third (short of room and value for closer finish) proved effectiveness on the Polytrack around here at least.

Not yet a winner, including over hurdles and in Flat handicaps for this yard, and current mark is a hangover from early promise in the first half of 2023; tongue tied today; looks to need more weight off his back.

Won on the Flat at Southwell (2m, AW) in January and followed up here (2m1f, good) last Tuesday, which was his second run in a handicap hurdle; escapes a penalty for that recent win and there can be considerable optimism that he'll be suited by this step up in trip; could be tough to beat.
