Went 3-3 over hurdles last season, including a listed novice. Best of the rest behind Lulamba on Exeter chase debut/reappearance and in command when left to come home alone from 3 out in Uttoxeter maiden since. Capable of better.
|
Progressive novice hurdler last season, winning 3 times before fine third in EBF Final at Sandown in March. Reappeared to win a 2m Wetherby novice handicap chase in November, impressing with his accurate jumping. Has the potential for considerable improvement.
|
Fairly useful form over hurdles without winning in 2024. A point win suggests he can do at least well over fences but he's been off for 15 months and he bumps into a couple of good prospects here.
|
Fairly useful dual bumper/hurdle but has been operating a little below his best in handicap hurdles this season ahead of this switch to fences
|
Quickly made into a fairly useful hurdler, scoring twice over 2m at Newcastle early in 2024. Showed aptitude for chasing after 19 months off when second over C&D in November and entitled to come on for that.
