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.

Initially failed to show any immediate benefit from wind surgery in three subsequent runs (2m to extended 2m4f) but latest effort, fitted with a tongue-tie and going close at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month, was a marked step forward; it will be interesting to see if he can build on that and 3lb claimer is booked.

Expensive to follow in maiden company, including twice at short prices over C&D last year; poor in two starts over further since undergoing wind surgery (reported to have stopped quickly last time) and the first-time tongue-tie will need to help.

Placed in two maiden hurdles but tailed off in his last and suffered the same fate on handicap debut when upped to this trip at Wincanton in December; well below his best on both starts since his wind surgery.

Bred to be suited by this new trip but has raced freely a couple of times over 2m, including when disappointing favourite in a hood most recently; chance partly depends on whether he settles better; handicap debut.
