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.

Form & Verdict
Displayed promise when making the frame in two maiden hurdles (2m, good/good to firm) this spring but he refused to race on the Flat in between and needs to improve to overcome top weight on this handicap hurdle debut.

He has the ability to make a nonsense of his lowly rating but slow starts have been a recurring theme and he completely disgraced himself at Leicester in May; running okay over hurdles this summer but can't be backed with any confidence.
