He's finished second on all four starts (2m, soft/heavy; three over hurdles), the latest at Hexham in April when beaten just a nose; takes on some interesting opponents today but can give another good account.

Went very close over hurdles here (3m, soft) last October and progressive switched to fences subsequently, winning at Wetherby (3m, soft) in February before a good third in a competitive novice handicap at Ayr (3m, heavy); this 6yo is open to further improvement and is one to consider.

Improved form to get off the mark over fences at the third attempt at Wetherby (3m, soft) in February; hit with a 7lb rise but the short-head runner-up Diamond Dealer went one better next time and this 6yo is in good hands to continue to progress; respected.
