Useful Flat form at about 1m2f; beaten in the region of 10l in his two runs over hurdles despite taking a firm grip (tongue tied last time on soft; 2.25l behind Talakan); needs to settle better but this sharp track could benefit him.

Showed fairly useful level of form in four Flat runs and made promising start over hurdles when 9l third of ten at Newbury (2m, good to soft) last month, keeping on well having still had plenty to do when not fluent two out; open to lots of improvement; big player in first-time tongue-strap.

0-4 on the Flat in Ireland but ran well when third in 15-runner Curragh maiden (1m2f, yielding to soft; RPR 82) in September; subsequently joined Dan Skelton for hurdling career; high on the list.

Sixth in all his races but best form yet when beaten under 5l at Navan last time (1m2f, good; seventh-placed Subsonic got no luck); will need more, however, and perhaps one for handicaps.
