Battled on to win stayers handicap on the Flat at Pontefract in October. Returned to hurdles in 08/09 with 5th in a valuable handicap at Musselburgh and might then be tried chasing later in the season. Won marathon handicap at Pontefract in April. Ran very well in finishing 3rd at York over 2m2f in October and scored at Wetherby on his chasing debut in October. Stable star.
