July's Worcester class 5 win was his first over hurdles since winter 2021, though a third back there since (both 2m, good) is stronger form; remains to be seen whether he's still up to this level in this discipline.

Had 1m4f form in France; made an encouraging yard debut at Wolverhampton (about 1m1f) and a renewed effort only just failed against one on a three-timer there (2m) four weeks ago; third has won since; switches track but good chance off just 1lb higher.
