Lightly raced; improved on previous efforts last season when winning over 2m5f at Wincanton last month (good; trainer said he seems to run better at this time of year); quite interesting back up in trip.

Very mixed hurdle form, best efforts when winning an Ascot maiden nearly two years ago and, following wind surgery, when going close at Chepstow (also 2m3f, good) last April; form plunged again at Plumpton in November, though, and now has cheekpieces added; risky.

Sole success came in a Fontwell maiden last April; has run with credit on several occasions since and shapes as though this step back up in distance will suit after he got outpaced when fourth at Wincanton (2m5f, good) last month; down to a career-low mark and should not be far away.
