Returns to fences following a convincing win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) nine days ago; only 2lb higher than when landing his sole success in this sphere (in November 2024) and must be considered while in winning mode.

9yo who has returned from a long absence this season and hasn't recaptured his considerable 2023 promise, but he ran well when third off his reduced mark at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) last month; has had wind surgery since and he could be in the mix.
