Held back by slow starts on the Flat this summer and hasn't taken to fences this month, following a less-than-fluent round of jumping on his first attempt at Sedgefield by refusing at Carlisle; wouldn't be a shock if he revived back hurdling (very well treated on his best form) but he's not that convincing at present.

Didn't run badly when 16l third of five on recent chasing debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, good), and there's room for improvement; his mark continues to edge downwards and he's won twice here on the Flat, but he's perhaps best watched until showing greater proficiency in the jumping department. |

Tailed off at 80-1 over hurdles at Kelso 19 days ago when back from a very long absence; there's a big doubt about how much ability he retains but he's 12lb lower than when winning over fences at Newcastle in December 2021, prior to his layoff; market check advised on second start back. |

His profile has been patchy since he won a novice hurdle at Perth (2m, good) in September 2022 and he doesn't look straightforward, dropping away tamely with blinkers added (retained) over 2m5f here three weeks ago; the return to 2m will probably help but he's still hard to be confident about.
