Smart hurdler  last season, who goes novice chasing this season, he made his debut at Belcare in a 3m maiden point in March  2016, beatingNo Hassle Hoff 9l. He made his English debut at Ascot in December the same year , winning a 2m 5f maiden hurdle by a short head from Criq Rock, then in January was 4^th in a grade 2 , 2 m 4 f novice hurdle, beaten 10 ¾ l behind Wholestone. He finished the season with a 2^nd at Ascot in February, beaten a neck by Beyond Conceit, in a 2m 4f novice hurdle.

He was due to go novice chasing last season, but fell on his reappearance at Newbury in November 2017, in a 2m 4f Beginners Chase, and was put back to hurdles. He was 4^th in the 2m 5f Lanzarote handicap hurdle at Kempton in January, beaten 2 ¾ l by William Henry, then won a 2m 7f grade 3 handicap hurdle at Sandown in February, giving Golan Future 12lb and winning by 1 ½ l. He finished the season with a neck 2^nd at Cheltenham in the 2m 3f Coral handicap hurdle, giving 9lb to the winner Bleu Berry, and is a smart novice chasing prospect. If that doesn’t work out, he should make a top class staying hurdler.
