Failed to build upon quite encouraging handicap hurdle debut (2m4f) when safely held over 3m last month but might be perked up by blinkers here, and his Irish point third in 2023 bodes well for his chasing prospects.

Close up in a heavy-ground Irish point last March and bought for £60,000; beaten just under 30l when 20-1 for a Newbury maiden (2m, good to soft) and no surprise to see him find a good bit on that form.

Showed some promise (finished third) in heavy-ground Irish point last March; sold for £60,000 in May; follow market signals on rules debut.
