Bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles at the fourth attempt at Kelso (2m5f, soft) in November and was back on the scoresheet in a novice there (2m5f, good to soft) four weeks ago; did it easily last time and has potential off his opening mark.

Better could have been expected in a maiden at Ayr last time but prior to that he was second of 12 over this C&D (good to soft) on his handicap debut, and he can be in the mix if returning to form.

Runner-up in two maiden hurdles towards the end of last year (2m5f/2m4f, soft/good to soft) before occupying the same position on handicap debut at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft); vulnerable if bumping into anything useful but he can give another good account.

Form & Verdict
Won a Stratford bumper in July; not always the most fluent of jumpers but third on all three starts over hurdles, last time on handicap debut at Newcastle (2m7f, good); drop in trip no problem and has shown promise on good to soft ground.

Won a Stratford bumper in July 2025 (2m, good to firm); yet to win over hurdles but several good runs, notably when third in a 2m7f handicap at Newcastle in October; not so good last time but off since; a possible.
