Useful at around 1m4f on the Flat at his best but ran as though something was amiss on both outings in the spring and it takes a leap of faith to support him on this hurdling debut; blinkers the headgear of choice today.

He's been running well in defeat this summer, bumping into a very unexposed Godolphin winner when 7l second of five under Sorin Moldoveanu on the other Newmarket course (1m4f, good to firm) last month; close third in this last year and there is every chance that he will be in the mix.

Unraced over this far but a step back up to 1m6f did the trick at Ffos Las (soft; acts on good to firm) 11 days ago for first win this term; pretty consistent but the 5lb penalty means that he probably needs better than his 2026 form.
