Form & Verdict
Made all to win C&D (good) maiden in May, his fourth hurdling start, and was beaten only about 1l when third to Crown Of India on handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good) later that month; may still have more to offer but has shown a tendency to hang and/or race too freely (ran out three starts ago), so comes with risk.

Chased home a clear winner in a Limerick maiden in November (yielding) and has run encouragingly in Wexford handicaps over the summer on good ground, filling the frame twice; recent Bellewstown effort was a step backwards, but in the mix if at his best, although softer conditions would raise a doubt.
