Form & Verdict
Offered little under rules in Ireland (including four chases) and sold on for £9,000; left all that form behind to make a winning start for this yard in a 2m5f handicap at Fontwell, scoring by 2l in a first-time tongue-tie; up 4lb with Tom Broughton again taking off 5lb; clear claims.

Ex-Irish 8yo who started off for Fergal O'Brien with three chase wins (2m4f-2m5f) in the autumn; returned with a lesser effort in February and fell when last in action but remains unexposed over 3m; sports first-time cheekpieces for hurdling debut; could have a say.

Showed little in Ireland but has thrived since joining this stable, winning under Tom Broughton on all three starts (2m4f/2m5f), on ground no worse than good to soft; more needed off 4lb higher and the ground is likely to be on the soft side, but still the one to beat.

Runner-up in 2m Worcester maiden in June; only fifth of six over that C&D on last month's handicap debut and contests a much deeper race here but is with a top stable, remains unexposed and this new trip ought to suit.

Good jumps pedigree and although he showed only minor promise on his debut he did very well to be involved in a tight finish over C&D in June, the winner going on to win his next three on the Flat (now on a mark of 89); looks likely to improve plenty.

0-8 over hurdles and fences; has run well on heavy ground (over 2m) but he didn't repeat a promising chase debut on this course (2m4f, good) in November when returned to a testing surface in December; still has to prove that 2m4f on soft is what he needs.
