Useful four-time Flat winner; showed some spark on AW last month but hasn't been at his best in that code on his last few starts and he may be best watched on this hurdle debut.

4yo; good-ground Flat winner who was runner-up on hurdle debut at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) in December and filled same position at Wetherby (2m, soft) last month; there's room for improvement in his jumping and he could settle better now in a hood; in calculations now against older horses.

Good-ground Flat winner who is improving over hurdles; won easily here on soft and did well to follow up in a steadily run race at Sandown (again 2m; good to soft); he's now 2-2 in the hood and probably still on a fair mark despite latest 5lb rise; the step up in trip is the grey area.

Form & Verdict
Creditable fifth in Flat Group 3 last April for Hugo Palmer; failed to kick on from there but didn't run badly in AW handicap in October when last seen; has since changed hands for 52,000gns; brings potential to his hurdle and stable debut; interesting to see how he goes in the betting.

Useful on Flat, with peak effort (fifth in Sandown Classic Trial) the best form in this field; tried in headgear before 52,000gns sale in October and although there was promise from off pace when third of seven at Plumpton (2m, soft) on hurdle debut, he was well held and needs big improvement.
