Speedy type who opened account in juvenile maiden at Hereford (2m) in March and has been runner-up all 3 starts since, most recently over C&D 17 days ago. Sets clear standard.

Fair form when placed in junior bumpers before being pulled up in full-distance event at Exeter final start for Jamie Osborne. Well prepared to make a winning hurdle bow 19 days ago. Tongue tie on.

Poor maiden himself on Flat (stays 1½m) and looks a handicap project over hurdles. Back from 9 months off.

Poor on Flat/over hurdles and makes no appeal outside of basement-level handicap company.

Fair but temperamental on the Flat. Well held in fairly deep juvenile hurdle at Newbury for new yard in December. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Fantastic Ms Fox and might do better in time.
