Unable to fulfill his immense promise due to injury; won the Galmoy Hurdle in January and not disgraced in the Liverpool Hurdle last time but needs to find a bit more; bled in the Cheltenham Gold Cup on his penultimate run.

Very promising in his younger days but missed two years due to an injury and, despite Grade 2 win on most recent hurdles attempt, it's still not clear whether he retains full ability; pulled up (bled from nose) in Cheltenham Gold Cup last month.

Unbeaten in two runs at the Festival in the Albert Bartlett in 2020 and Brown Advisory the following year; has raced just three times, over hurdles, since back from two-year absence and was returning from another layoff when winning at Gowran in January; something very special will be needed if he's to overcome the interruptions and the passing of the years to play a part.
