He settled much better with a first-time hood on at Wetherby on Saturday and ran a very good race. He should win a decent handicap hurdle at some stage this season.

Form profile

Bumper winner in March and made a successful debut over hurdles at Carlisle (2m 4f) in October when beating Grand Geste half a length.
