Has regressed on the Flat since winning small-field Bath handicap for another stable a year ago; made fairly encouraging hurdle debut when keeping on for modest third at Plumpton (2m, good) last month but needs to build on that performance here and has since refused to race on the Flat.

A fair 1m2f winner for Michael Attwater; has shaped with promise on all three runs for his new yard, set a lot to do when third over hurdles at Plumpton 20 days ago; a slow starter but he still rates a player off a reduced mark here.
