Looked useful when winning a Wetherby bumper by 7l in March 2024; hurdles career off to a perfect start at Warwick (2m, good to soft) the following season, but absent for 18-plus months thereafter until reappearing at Ayr (4-1 favourite; tailed off) recently; now sits 2lb lower.

Point and dual bumper winner who was a shade of odds-on when leading late on in a big-field maiden at Warwick in November 2024 (good to soft; won on soft); has a long absence to overcome and a hefty weight for his handicap debut, but trainer has spoken well of him.
