Came good over hurdles at third attempt, making virtually all in Fakenham maiden (2m, good to soft) in March; that form isn't anything to go wild about but he should have more to offer in handicaps this season.

Has outrun his mark on both recent Flat runs since a big absence; as a winner in that sphere at up to 1m6f his failure to stay a sharp 2m on either previous hurdles run was disappointing; something to prove.

RPRs for both hurdling thirds (one C&D) narrowly set the standard here, and are worth upgrading considering the refusal to settle in one and mistakes in both; drier ground than for either likely awaits.

Developed into fairly useful Flat racer for George Boughey in 2024 (three wins); soundly beaten in all five hurdle races for new stable this year, the last twice in handicaps, but heavy ground would not have suited on her latest outing (first-time cheekpieces) and there is still hope she can transfer some of that Flat ability to this code; watch the betting.
