Bettered inauspicious bumper debut when 50-1 third in Warwick maiden hurdle (2m, good to soft) in May, form that has been well advertised by the runner-up since; open to further improvement if revved up after six-month break; considered each-way.

Offered little in his first handicap but was clear of the rest behind a lightly raced novice in his second at Huntingdon (2m, good); softer ground shouldn't be a big deal on pedigree and, up just 3lb, he enters the reckoning.

Peak hurdling RPRs around Hereford and Kempton bode well with another flat right-hander awaiting him; last-time success over 2m5f at the latter venue is the furthest he's gone so far, and dual-purpose pedigree isn't abundant with stayers, but he'd be unfazed by a dryout.

In process of running well before unseating rider at penultimate flight on last month's hurdling debut and also displayed significant promise before fading into fourth on run-in at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) 18 days later; has a big role to play here, particularly if first-time tongue-tie aids his finishing effort.
