Fetched £130,000 after winning a 3m Irish point (soft) by 6l; failed to justify favouritism in a soft-ground bumper at Hexham (tongue tied) but the easy winner has since finished a clear second over hurdles; this 5yo won't be long in winning.

Some lengthy breaks in his lightly raced profile but it was a positive first run back from wind surgery when beaten 3.5l at Uttoxter three weeks ago (2m4f, good to soft); the burning question is whether he'll be as good again.
