Mostly seen over hurdles these days and both wins have come in that sphere; 0-21 on the Flat and makes little appeal despite being much lower in the weights than when placed three times on turf in the summer of 2023. |

Returned to form with close second at Market Rasen (2m, good) in June and may have been stretched by 2m4f when slightly below that level on latest outing; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added today; should cope if the ground turns soft; high on the list. |

Dual novice winner who was possibly flattered to finish close up in a slowly run Grade 2 at Doncaster in January; he just didn't show up on his handicap debut last time but still interesting off this sort of mark. |

2nd Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |

Won at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) in November on second hurdle start and again had something to spare at Newcastle (2m1f, good) next time; not disgraced when fourth of five in Grade 2 novices' hurdle at Doncaster (2m, good) last time and he has potential now up in trip on handicap debut. |

27th Jan 2024 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 1 |

Well behind El Elefante in one of his bumpers but it's been all very comfortable in winning novices at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) and Newcastle (2m1f, good), impressing in how he regained his composure after a bad late mistake last time when penalised; not to be underestimated. |

Yet to make any significant further progress since winning on hurdle debut in October, and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry; however, he came from off the pace for creditable fourth (just behind Dance Thief) in competitive handicap at Ayr (2m, soft) last month; a player. |

Beat a respected rival in a novice earlier this season but now 0-3 in handicaps and hasn't genuinely threatened in any of them (in this headgear combination the last twice); down 5lb for those but has to raise his game. |

Well held in both Flat runs and 0-5 over hurdles, but he was runner-up in a Hexham novice (2m, good to soft) last month on his penultimate run; now makes his handicap/chase debut and has possibilities if he takes to this new discipline. |
