Last year was a good one on the Flat, winning four times at up to 1m5f; contested two Graded races after winning his juvenile hurdle and was all the rage for his handicap debut at Musselburgh (first run over 2m4f) only to finish a well-held third; drops back in trip here with cheekpieces added and needs a close look.

Fairly useful Flat racer who looked quite promising when winning against own age-group on stable/hurdle debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in October; safely held in two subsequent Grade 2 juvenile hurdles but has sights lowered on handicap debut and is open to improvement over the new trip.

Ran poorly on Polytrack last month and is now 0-8 on the Flat but went very close in 1m6f handicap two starts ago (good to firm; RPR 83) and his trainer is a dab hand with juvenile hurdlers.

Useful form when winning on the Flat in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien in June (1m4f, good; RPR 89) but both British Flat runs this summer were disappointing, the latest a 28l defeat on last month's stable debut; makes hurdling debut with a point to prove.
