Very unexposed 7yo who collected two bumpers on soft and heavy ground last season and created a very good impression when winning easily here (2m4f, good) on hurdling debut in November; not seen since but his form has been well advertised by the placed horses in the meantime and connections are evidently keen to move him up in trip again; tongue-tie fitted.
