Lightly-raced maiden has shown mild promise in bumpers but remote third on recent hurdles debut at Wexford and looks a forlorn hope here.

First reserve; not bad efforts in first two bumpers, here (yielding) and at Leopardstown (gd-yld), but no show on soft on latest in another bumper at Thurles; return to better ground a plus for hurdles debut.

Form & Verdict
Grade 2 bumper winner at the Dublin Racing Festival in 2024 (2m, soft); missed over two years after that win and soundly beaten on return in a Fairyhouse bumper in April; should come on for that and worth a market check on hurdles debut.

Point winner who looked a top prospect when beating smart opposition in the Grade 2 bumper at the 2024 Dublin Racing Festival; penalised accordingly but perhaps a greater concern is the mammoth absence; market should be informative.

All four starts on testing ground and yet to get closer than 17l to the winner; beaten 48l when fourth at Limerick latest; rating of 94 possibly flatters him; better ground needs to spark major improvement.
