Half-brother to smart jumper If In Doubt; created very good impression when drawing over 8l clear to win Newcastle bumper (good to soft) on debut in February, form that has recently been very well advertised by the runner-up; not seen again since but looks a good prospect for novice hurdles.

Only narrowly justified short odds at Kelso (2m5f, good) when switched to hurdles this month, adding to his Irish point win; however, likely to be suited by this longer distance and remains open to further progress.
