Form & Verdict
Bolted up in 2m3f Downpatrick bumper last summer and has twice run well here, notably after 11 months when front-running fourth last month; nine days later clear for much of way in 2m6f Downpatrick maiden hurdle, only reeled in late; drop in trip should suit and another bold bid expected.

Won back to back races last summer, a Bellewstown maiden hurdle (20.5f, good) and a Kelso novice (2m5f, good); out of depth in Cheltenham Grade 2 novice hurdle when last seen in October; not bred for this game and probably best watched after a 219-day absence.

All his best form is on good ground and he was withdrawn from a yielding-to-soft engagement; made all for wins at around 2m5f at Bellewstown and Kelso, latterly by a narrow margin; up in grade and down in trip, others appeal more.

Bumper winner who got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles at Bellewstown (2m4f, good) three weeks ago, despite some indifferent jumping; posted an RPR of 127 in the process and that sets the standard here; stable won this last year; softening ground might not be ideal (withdrawn from a yielding to soft engagement).
