Form & Verdict

0-8 over hurdles; best run for Vincent Carroll a 1.75l third of 14 at Sligo (2m4f, good) in July 2023; tailed off when falling on debut for this yard after a mammoth layoff; wears first-time cheekpieces and tongue tie; can only be watched.

Poor form in maidens but has improved for handicaps; fell at the second last when 2l in front on penultimate at Clonmel (18.5f, good); shaped like this trip might suit when a 10l second of 13 at Sligo latest; chance off the same mark.
