Good-ground bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt over C&D (good) in November, when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained) in a maiden that worked out extremely well; weakened into sixth on handicap debut at Windsor in January but that was on soft ground; firmly in calculations now back on a better surface.

Close third at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in the first of his two bumper runs last spring; tailed off on hurdling debut in November but he left that form well behind when a front-running fourth at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) the following month; was beaten around 15l but that was a promising effort in a big field and he's a player if he can find more improvement.
