Still unexposed after only four hurdling starts but was tailed off when 66-1 for last month's handicap debut over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces); huge improvement needed.

Pretty poor in points and three runs over hurdles from 2m to 2m4f; handicaps are now a better option and he goes in cheekpieces, but there are plenty of risks to consider.
