Promising second of 16 in novice at Chepstow on hurdles bow on return 38 days ago, a serious error as the race was taking shape looking most costly. Should improve. TFRHHHHI BHA-

Fell last sole start in Irish points (Mar 13) but looked potentially useful sent hurdling when making a winning debut in novice at Aintree over this trip, delivered late to run down the imposing favourite.
