Has improved with each of his four runs, notching second win in big field at Kelso (soft) three weeks ago; he'll need better still to follow up in this higher grade but he's a likeable sort, not dismissed lightly. |

Showed promise when landing a Perth bumper (2m, good to soft) in June; penalty and heavy ground provided the anchor when he was over 18l fourth at Carlisle latest; should be capable of better now tackling hurdles and with that recent run under his belt; place claims. |

Well beaten on debut in Newcastle bumper (2m1f, good) in May and he again failed to threaten in a novice hurdle at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) last month, but he made eyecatching late headway to finish fifth of 15 and could be an each-way contender if improving for this step up in trip. |

Promise on both starts pointing in Ireland (runner-up to Grade 1 winner Feronily on first occasion); showed promise on hurdle debut at Haydock in March (1m7f, soft; fourth of five but caught the eye of the stewards); worth a market check on return from a break.

Pointing promise and caught the eye of the stewards when a never-dangerous fourth on his switch to hurdling at Haydock (1m7f, soft; 9-1) when last seen in March; highly likely that he has more to offer. |

Runner-up on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, soft) last November and in contention when falling on New Year's Day (3m, soft); kept on for fair fourth of five on last month's hurdle debut at Haydock (1m7f, soft; caught the eye of the stewards); open to improvement now up in trip and he's a possible. |

Held on well to win soft-ground maiden point in March and ran well to a point when sixth of 18 on recent stable/hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m3f, soft); each-way claims at least if that recent outing brought him on and today's drop in trip suits. |

Won a British point-to-point bumper (2m, good to soft) in February on his second start and he stayed on well for a clear second on last month's hurdle debut at Carlisle (2m1f, heavy); this step up in trip looks a positive move and he could have a part to play. |
