Form & Verdict

High-class NH performer, most recently good fourth in BetMGM Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham; two previous Flat runs were on the Dundalk AW, notably previous month when 2l third of 10 over 1m4f; ground no problem, not sure the tight track will suit.

Form & Verdict

Five-time winner over hurdles is rated 49lb inferior to Ballyadam in that discipline; belated Flat debut when well held in Bellewstown maiden last month (5.5l off Battling Ski); good bit to find.
