Very progressive in 2023-24 season (gained two of his three wins over C&D) but lightly raced (mainly over fences) and very disappointing since; current ability hard to gauge; market may guide.

C&D seconds either side of January's Leicester win (1m7f, heavy) speak well of his effectiveness around galloping tracks with at least some give underfoot; drying forecast worries more than latest 1lb rise.

Has seen much more action than most of this field and took a novice at Chepstow (2m, soft) in November; second in handicap here (2m, good to soft) was the clear best of his last three outings (seemingly stretched by 2m4f the time before) and this looks a competitive mark, but his hurdling score is 1-7 and he may well prove vulnerable to an improver.

0-5 over hurdles and his tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but his fourth of 15 on handicap debut at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November was a good effort, and he caught the eye making a big forward move from the rear before his effort petered out at Doncaster (2m, good) in December; hood removed; tongue-tie added; shortlisted.
