Made all for 1m2f Brighton win (off 49) in April (good-to-firm) on his final start in Britain for Kevin Philippart De Foy; keen, dropped away quickly on hurdles debut at Tipperary in July; tried hooded now.

Improved for handicapping on the Flat this spring, getting off the mark at Brighton (1m2f); interesting recruit for this yard after 15,000gns sale and worth a market check.

Evidently suited by the step up in trip when staying-on second on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in February; could easily have more to offer if this switch to turf suits; high on the list.

Last month's C&D success (good to firm) took his record in handicaps here to 3241; no surprise were he to reverse previous 1m2f course placings with Myna despite a 4lb re-raise, and Liam Wright can claim more here than in that apprentice race last time; player.
