Form & Verdict

Carries a double-penalty but he impressed when making it 3-4 under rules in a handicap at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) last month and this 3m point winner is open to further improvement now up in trip; strong claims.

Form & Verdict

Third in two Irish maiden points (3m) and sold for £12,000 last May; encouraging 7l second on last month's bumper debut at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) and perhaps the step up in trip will suit now over hurdles, but he could do with settling better and faces a tough task against the top two.

Form & Verdict

Very lightly raced 5yo who has shown ability, most recently when a fair third over C&D (good) last month on his second hurdle start; however, a chunk of improvement is needed if he's to pose a threat in his field.
