Had a good time of it over fences on good ground in summer of 2022 (won three times at up to 2m5f and was second on five occasions); seemed to lose his way over fences in May, so back hurdling now and was a good second at Worcester in August (2m4f, good to soft); chance on that form.

Made excellent progress last year, winning five times along the way (2m-2m4f); could quite plausibly have more improvement still to come but didn't fire at regular haunt Huntingdon in December and may not be ideally suited by the switch to a left-handed track.
