0-20 hurdles but made winning chasing debut over C&D (soft; 7-2, from 2lb lower) last October; well beaten on both subsequent starts, dropping out tamely once headed, finishing well behind Sir Carnegie over C&D three weeks ago; needs to rediscover a spark.

All-the-way Kempton 3m winner in early 2024 and, with stamina to spare at intermediate trips and the benefit of wind surgery, was played equally aggressively in victory at Perth last week (good); 2lb badly in under the penalty but still superbly handicapped on that previous winning form.
