Form & Verdict
Did not get competitive in three maiden/novice hurdles (2m-2m4f) for new stable this spring, following a long absence, but won a bumper by 9l in summer 2023 and there's still a chance some of that ability will resurface at some point; watch the betting.

Useful bumper winner for Ben Brookhouse; still lightly raced and runner-up in both his handicaps, only narrowly failing to justify market support last time here over 2m; only 3lb higher and should stay this far; has been held up in recent races.
