Form & Verdict

No wins in two points; best of three maiden hurdle starts came at Fairyhouse last time when keeping on for the runner-up spot (2m4f, heavy) in a very weak contest; a tongue tie is added to the previously worn cheekpieces; stablemate He Can't Dance has better claims with Josh Williamson reducing his winner's penalty burden.
