About 28l behind Bossman Jack when third on seasonal/hurdle debut at Ffos Las (2m, soft) last month but bettered that performance when close second there (2m, heavy) a fortnight ago and can improve again if/when he learns to settle better.

Won big-field Irish bumper in September and showed clear promise on both hurdling starts for new stable, more recently when third of 15 at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month; probably needs to improve here but that's possible if the new trip suits.

Twice-raced 5yo who remains open to progress, especially back on faster ground, having eventually got tired on soft in a Wetherby novice hurdle (2m); won his bumper at Navan (yielding) for Andy Slattery in the style of a useful prospect.
