Acts on any ground; comfortably justified favouritism upped to 3m at Newbury (heavy) most recently, taking strike-rate over hurdles to 4-6 and record in handicaps to 2-3; progressing well and commands respect.

3-5 hurdling, notably when winning an 18-runner race at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft) in November on handicap debut; novice winner next time and creditable third of 15 when favourite for the Lanzarote Handicap at Kempton (2m5f, good) latest start; dam won at up to 3m and he now looks worth a go at it.

Record of 3-4 since switched to hurdles features a success in big field at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft) in sole handicap attempt; followed up at Leicester (1m7f) last time, while shaping as if he'll relish this step back up in trip; yard has landed the last two runnings (2023 and 2024) of this prize; strong credentials.

Has form figures of 121, all over 2m5f, since switched to hurdles; successful in competitive handicap at Cheltenham (soft) most recently; leading contender, provided he copes with the sizeable drop back in trip.

Second on debut in a soft-ground bumper last October and he won on his hurdle/seasonal debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) in September; clear runner-up in a novice there (2m5f, good to soft) last time; makes handicap debut and is in excellent hands to continue to progress; player.
