Form & Verdict
Very useful Irish Flat winner who posted a good third in 1m6f Killarney handicap last month on his final run for Jim Bolger; since changed hands for 125,000euros and he's a most interesting hurdling debutant for Emmet Mullins.

Had some decidedly useful Flat form at up to 1m6f; enterprisingly placed to win a French Grade 2 hurdle in October (heavy) but has finished tailed off in all his three subsequent runs, latterly in a Kelso handicap; even if back on song, this mark looks very testing.

Very useful on the Flat (including on good ground) and made it 2-2 over hurdles in Grade 2 juvenile event at Auteuil (2m2f, heavy) last October; well beaten in Grade 1 and Grade 2 races the next twice but no surprise if he plays a leading role today for Irish trainer who won this two years ago.

Hinted at promise without making the frame in three 1m4f novices for Andrew Balding in early summer; subsequently bought for £32,000 so this son of Mastercraftsman is not discounted on his hurdling debut.
