6/4
Useful bumper performer who shrugged of a disappointing hurdle debut at Chepstow in October when winning a 16-runner maiden at Exeter 2 months later. Did that comfortably and there's more to come.

Maiden Irish pointer. 100/1 when pulled up in Ludlow maiden hurdle on Rules debut. A first-time tongue tie needs to spark major improvement.
