Form & Verdict

Three-time Flat winner; bolted up in a heavy ground 1m6f Listowel handicap in September off 65; some positive efforts off his revised mark following that; 4.25l seventh of 14 over C&D in December, before failing to complete on hurdling debut at Tramore; however, posted an eyecatching third behind top novice hurdler El Cairos at Thurles last time when keeping on well.

Form & Verdict

Dual-purpose type; had been a runner-up in two previous visits to this venue before going one better over C&D five days ago with a ready 3l success; that win came on the back of a Cork novice hurdle victory last month; shoulders a 7lb penalty now but could have more to offer.
