Course maiden hurdle (2m2f, good) winner two years ago for this trainer; just three outings since, and poor in two of them; however, positive runner-up finish in a 2m2f conditions hurdle here last time when badly treated at the weights; can't be ruled out after that.

Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner in July 2024; considering he was returning from 552 days off, it wasn't a bad effort seventh of 13 at Thurles when badly hampered by a faller in sole start for Natalia Lupini; returns to original trainer now.

Form & Verdict
Progressive for Gordon Elliott, winning three of five starts; handicaps at Kilbeggan and Clonmel and 3-runner 2m4f Roscommon novice; disappointing favourite however back in handicap over C&D in June when forcing tactics employed, fading badly once headed approaching the last in contest won by Malbay Madness; back from a break with questions to answer.

Useful hurdler has won three times at up to 2m4f in that sphere and is rated 125; didn't quite get home on sole start at 3m over timber, so stamina to prove on chase debut.

Beat Theflyingbee by 0.5l when scoring at Clonmel in May (16.5f, gd-yld) off 14lb lower; added three-runner novice hurdle at Roscommon in June (2m4f, yld-sft); soundly beaten at Downpatrick twice since; may be in handicapper's grip and Kennedy on stablemate.
