Off the mark in maiden hurdle at Southwell (20.5f, good) in June. Respectable 10 lengths third of 14 in a Uttoxeter handicap since. Ought to be thereabouts.

In good form since joining Tony Carroll, placing on the Flat before making a successful return to hurdling in 21.5f Newton Abbot maiden last month. Well-held fourth under a penalty at Market Rasen since, though.

Fairly useful staying handicapper on Flat for David O'Meara and made perfect start to hurdling career in Huntingdon maiden in May. Better form when second under a penalty in novices at Newton Abbot (21.5f) and Worcester (2m) on next 2 starts. Fair sixth back on Flat since. Should go well.
