Won Hexham bumper (good to soft) on rules debut last June and was the only one to give a highly promising rival any sort of race before last-flight fall on 2m1f course hurdle debut (soft) in December; nowhere near that level twice since (23l fifth to Las Canals at Sedgefield latterly) but could come into his own in handicaps; hooded for the first time now stepping up in trip; worth a look in the betting.
