Showed glimpses of promise in maidens but has been poor in two handicap starts; can't be ruled out from this top yard but a tongue-tie will have to make a significant difference.

Some promise in two maiden hurdles in 2024 but was disappointing when favourite on return at Tipperary early last season; pulled up on handicap debut last August; absent since; from a top stable, so not ruled out

Dual hurdles winner, including here; creditable third of six over an extended 2m7f here on chasing debut in June when he didn't appear to stay the trip; modest third of nine over hurdles at Downpatrick (2m2f, good) last time.

Two course wins, over 2m6f and more recently over 2m4f in April; okay chase debut here in June and has had a break since; back hurdling and this trip looks on the short side.

Improved form after being switched to this yard, winning handicaps last December at Ayr and Hexham at around 2m4f on heavy; two moderate runs since including a fifth here; rated 92 over timber so has a bit to find on chase debut but hails from top yard.
