Uneven hurdling profile, but recent 2m7f maiden third here (good) was a grand effort considering the preceding 16-month absence; didn't quite last home there, so drop in trip and tongue-tie make sense; player. |

Not straightforward but some solid runs on the Flat last summer, including a last-gasp win in C&D amateur contest in August; form for current yard this year not at same level, including over C&D in May, stiff task at Ascot latest; needs to step up, handicapper relenting. |

Out of a mare from a good jumping family and made good headway from the rear to take fourth on last month's debut at Bangor (2m, good); that form is modest but he has obvious scope for progress over today's longer trip and with that experience under his belt. |
