Nine-race maiden who has been inconsistent over hurdles but he was a close second in a Huntingdon handicap (2m, good; tongue-tie added) on his penultimate run; on same mark here and has possibilities if he can recapture that form on this switch to fences.

Won a 2m handicap hurdle here (good) in September 2024; pulled up in two of his four starts since but he was runner-up over fences at Hereford (2m, good) on his penultimate run; that form puts him in the picture and this unexposed chaser is not ruled out after another break.

0-7 over hurdles but he made it fourth-time lucky over fences when scoring on his stable debut at Taunton (2m, good) in March; looked fortunate because the leader made a bad mistake at the last but he's only 2lb higher here and he had an excuse when stepped back up 2m4f last time; dangerous back in trip.
