Out of close relative of high-class hurdler Darlan; failed to justify prominence in the betting when never dangerous on bumper debut in January but is evidently thought capable of better.

Form & Verdict
Placed in 15-runner Kempton bumper (good to soft) last March but well beaten in heavy-ground bumper later that month and again when reappearing in soft-ground Newbury hurdle (2m4f) in February; this race is easier than last time and the drying ground may suit him better but, nevertheless, he needs to take a big step forward.

Third of 15 at Kempton (soft) on second start was clearly the best of his three runs in bumpers last season; had wind surgery in September; dam was 2m hurdle winner.
