Improving hurdler who could well be playing in the top rank this season.
He is held in high regard at Greystoke and made a winning debut at Ayr in November 2018, winning a 2m bumper by 7l from Nicklesonthedime, then was 6th at Cheltenham in a 2m listed bumper 2 weeks later, 10 ¾ l behind Master Debonair, then finished the season with victory back at Ayr in Janu-ary this year, winning another 2m bumper by 5l from Milvale (received 12 lb). He reappeared at Hexham in November last year, winning a 2m novice hurdle by 9l from Itsnotyoitsme, and followed up at Wetherby 3 weeks later, winning a 2m novice hurdle by 11l from Sir Valentine . He finished the season with 2nd at Ascot, in a 2m grade 2 novice hurdle, beaten 8l by Master Debo-nair (gave 3lb).
He had a wind operation and reappeared recently, winning a 2m 1f Intermediate hurdle by 5 ½ l from the highly regarded Nickolson (re-ceived 6lb). He will step up in class with the grade 1 Fightong Fifth hurdle his next target, and it will be interesting to see if he can become a Champion Hurdle contender.
