Made all for Fergal O'Brien here (2m5f, good) six weeks ago, his third start since returning to racing under rules; subsequent 5lb rise ought to be manageable if he continues in good form for new stable.

Early promise in a bumper and novice hurdle for this yard but failed to fulfil it; two point wins for another trainer (along with some lesser efforts) over an 18-month spell ending in May but he dropped out back with Fergal O'Brien in June and goes chasing with a question to answer.

Form & Verdict
Won a 2m novice handicap hurdle for Ben Pauling in 2022 (soft); bit frustrating over fences for this stable but fair efforts recently, a staying-on fourth over 2m1f at Cartmel last time; interesting back up in trip with blinkers replacing cheekpieces.
