Useful sort who Harry Fry expects to make up in to a high class chaser this season. He made his debut at Plumpton In November 2016, winning a 2m 1f bumper by 2 ¼ l from Puppet Warrior. In February 2017, he followed up at Taunton in another bumper over 2m, beating Or De Vassey (received 5lb), then stepped up in class, finished 4th at Aintree in April in the 2m 1f grade 2 bumper, beaten 2 ¾ l behind Lalor. 

He reappeared at Exeter in October, winning a 2 2f novice hurdle by 8l from Blu Cavalier, then followed up at Bangor over 2m in another novice hurdle, beating Soloman (received 7lb) Grey 3 ¼ l.He then won another novice hurdle over 2m at Kempton on Boxing Day, beating Diese Des Biffes (received 3lb) by 5l , then was off for 319 days. He reappeared at Wincanton in November 2018, finishing 2nd in a 2m grade 2 hurdle beaten 2 ¼ l behind Verdana Blue (received 3lb), then won a grade 2 hurdle at Ascot over 2m 3f beating Old Guard (gave 6lb), 1 ½ l. In December he was third in the grade 1 2m hurdle at Kempton , beaten 6l behind Verdana Blue (received 7lb), then in February 2019, was 2nd at Fontwell in a2m 3f grade 2 hurdle, beaten 1 ½ l by Vision Des Flos 9received 4lb). He then went to Aintree in April, and finished 2nd in the 3m grade 1 Liverpool hurdle, beating Roksana ( received 7lb)  a head . 

Reappearing at Ascot in November 2019, he won a 2m 3f grade 2 hurdle by ½ l from Call Me Lord (received 6lb), then in January this year was 5th at Cheltenham in a 3m grade 2 hurdle beaten 7 ½ l behind Paisley Park. Harry Fry says he was not right that day, and his reappearance recently, winning a 2m 5f novice chase at Chepstow by 7 ½ l from Fiddlerontheroof, suggests he will win plenty more races over fences this season.
