Form of third to Moracana is tested in the previous race today; really likeable dual-code sort who was very good in hurdles win since; not sure he wants this sort of a slog though.

Consistent in Ireland in 2020 and 2021, not in 2022 but the best of his efforts that year make this look a good mark; won a maiden over 1m6f but peak efforts have been over a little shorter; the big issue, though, is over how ready he will be after 645 days off the track.
