Dual hurdles winner; fourth behind Slade Steel in Supreme Novices' last season, tapped for toe at crucial stage; disappointed at Aintree; chased home Fact To File in Belharbour point-to-point in 2022 and was first past the post in a further two contests in that sphere, including when beating Grade 2-winning hurdler Now Is The Hour at Belclare; fascinating contender.
