Strong traveller who has settled better of late and it has resulted in a pair of C&D wins, produced to lead close home 3 weeks ago. Up further 7 lb but remains one to be very positive about.

Dual winning pointer but pulled up all 3 starts in that sphere in 2026. Shaped as if amiss on last month's hurdles debut but turned out 9 days later, he caused a huge surprise at this venue. Plenty went his way on that occasion and he was brushed aside at Bangor under a penalty. Mark looks stiff.
