Returning from a mammoth absence but he was a useful Flat-racer at up to 1m6f and made the frame in his first three races over hurdles before appearing not to stay nearly 3m on handicap debut; wouldn't be too dismissive off a reduced mark.

Back from mammoth absence with two runs this summer; looked held when falling on first occasion but last month's fifth at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) was much more encouraging, and he might take another step forward if his stamina holds out here.

Runner-up here (2m4f, good) on chasing debut in September and also placed at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) the following month; dropped out tamely after making a lot of the running at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) last month, after a break, but may have needed that run and will presumably be ridden positively again over this shorter trip; interesting.
