Close third in Hereford maiden last month and looks the one to beat here

Off since poor run on Boxing Day 2022 but was second of five of first six hurdling starts

Placed over C&D on recent hurdling debut but the form is of questionable value

First foal from a low-grade 2m4f/2m5f hurdle winner; probably best watched on debut

Pulled up in a recent point and makes very limited appeal on this rules return
