Won twice when upped to 3m in February, and recent Newcastle third was another good effort

Pulled nicely clear with next-time-out winner at Ffos Las in February; 4lb rise manageable

Made underwhelming chase debut but was placed on handicap hurdle debut and has low mileage

Close third over 2m5f here in November; player if this stiffer stamina test suits
6	Ri Na Cuirte Bay J:Joe Anderson(5) T:Ben Clarke	J:Joe Anderson(5) T:Ben Clarke	158	p	2-5662	95	108	62	35d	—	—	+8	17.3	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Remote when second on last month's handicap debut but that was still a decent effort

Unlucky to be brought down last time but now 0-8 over hurdles, and may need better ground
