Improving with experience over hurdles and won 2m maiden here (good) last month, his third attempt; the bare form isn't anything to go wild about but there's a good chance today's longer trip will enable further progress.

Tailed off for Jimmy Moffatt on debut in Bangor bumper (2m, soft) in April 2024 and absent since; however, he was sent off at just 6-1 and has a useful pedigree, and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the betting on this stable and hurdle debut.
