Unexposed 5yo who won under owner-jockey Amber Jackson-Fennell on hurdle debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft) in March; below that form over 2m5f in April (raced too freely) but remains open to improvement on this handicap debut.

Won a point bumper and followed up in a small field on fast ground at Exeter last March; well held in his final bumper but he returned for new yard with a win on hurdling debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft) last month; needs to improve on that form but he landed a gamble in that race and was strong at the finish; in the mix upped in trip.
