Still chasing a first British success since his French 2023 hurdle win and, while he has posted a few placed efforts, he has failed to quite see out his races over trips beyond 2m; another 3lb lower but needs to raise his game.

Won in good style here (2m2f, good to firm) in July and has been placed twice elsewhere since, albeit about 8l behind God Of Fire at Fontwell (2m1f, good) on latter occasion; slightly disappointing at Stratford last time but still considered each-way.
