Rated 125 over hurdles; winner of a bumper here in early 2025 (2m3f, soft to heavy); didn't have to improve much from Down Royal return when taking a Gowran maiden hurdle in January (2m, heavy); didn't appear to get home on chasing debut when faded into fifth back at Gowran (19.5f, heavy); may do better over shorter.

Form & Verdict
Placed in three bumpers; last two efforts over hurdles promising, runner-up in Limerick novice (2m3f, soft to heavy) last month and was 2l clear approaching the last when filling the same spot at Thurles (2m4f) on Sunday; drop in trip should be fine.

Narrow winner of a 2m4f maiden at Wexford this month; that was his eighth start over hurdles, and his handicap rating of 116 was left unchanged; others are better suited by the race conditions.

Top rated here at 116 and plenty of placed efforts in bumpers and maiden hurdles; not a bad run on handicap debut at Cork five days ago and should be on the premises back in a maiden, although has to give weight away to all.
