Failed to finish in a hurdle at Sandown but putting a tidy record together. Should jump out and bowl along. Going well this preparation. Can show up in this at odds.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run in a hurdle at Ayr and going over more ground. Has shown early pace in races to date. Pass at this stage.

Tidy effort when 3rd last run in a hurdle at Kelso. Running with confidence this preparation. Unlikely to go close.
