Unexposed 4yo who was runner-up in a Worcester handicap (2m, good) last month and he had an excuse when upped to 2m4f there six days later; could resume his progress on this drop back in trip and he's an interesting contender for Dan Skelton.

Signs of progress until unseating two out at Uttoxeter (2m, good) and backed that up with a second here last week; half-brother to the stable's smart 2m-2m6f winner Unexpected Party, so this trip should be well within range.

0-4 but was in the process of running his best race to date when unseating two out at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 20 days ago when coming to challenge; still unexposed and should go close, at the least.

Has shown little in three runs, latest when last of five at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January on handicap debut; should be capable of better however, and he's in the hands of the newly-crowned champion NH trainer.

22l third of eight on debut in juvenile hurdle at Bangor (2m, soft) in November and took slight step forward when fourth of six at Haydock (1m7f, good) subsequently; this half-brother to his top stable's Grand Annual winner Unexpected Party has the potential to be superior to his opening mark.
