Chase debut; principally of interest due to the yard he's moved to.

Winning pointer but a very limited hurdler and goes chasing with a lot to prove.

The cheekpieces appeared to perk him up when a decent third at Uttoxeter (3m).

Profile of 1-31; a case can be made on some of his form but he's inconsistent.
