Back to form after wind surgery when third in Betfair Exchange Trophy at Ascot (2m) in December. Not in that form all 4 starts since (including twice for Tom George) but back from a break he has returned to Harry Fry and the assessor has given him a major chance.

Made the most of a good opportunity on second start for this yard in 4-runner affair at Sandown (2m, heavy) at the start of the year and back in grade, he doubled his tally at Fakenham in April. Unexposed and opening mark looks fair.

Won 4 handicap hurdles on the bounce upon joining this yard in 2020. Trip was on the sharp side when third of 4 on chase debut in June 2021. Off since and drops even further in distance.

Fairly useful hurdler who opened his chase account in a 3-runner Fontwell novice last autumn. Best effort since when third at Huntingdon a fortnight ago and eased 1 lb since.

Dual hurdles winner for Suzi Best and came good for new stable at Market Rasen in June. Unable to continue the good work since, including on the back of a breathing op at Newbury 18 days ago.

Back to very best when doubling career tally on second handicap start over C&D in April. Off since bur no surprise were he to resume his progress.
