Having second run back today. Not raced for 48 days. First-up after nine months finished third in a small field at Newcastle in the G1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle Race on November 29 over 3400m, 1.75 len behind Golden Ace carrying 74.5kg at $41. Previously second-up came from midfield to post a big 5.5 len win. Hereford on December 21 2024 over 3900m defeating Lemoncello with 76kg at $2.40 in a hurdle. Can improve on first up performance. Excellent winning chance.

Useful type. Comes off a 49 day let-up. Last outing finished third of 7 runners at Newbury in the G2 Long Distance Hurdle on November 28 over 4900m, on slow going 4 len behind Impose Toi carrying 70.5kg at $8. Run before finished second in a small field at Wetherby in the G2 West Yorkshire Hurdle on November 1 over 4800m, a neck behind Strong Leader carrying 70.5kg at $5.50. Definite winning chance. Expected to run well.
