Form & Verdict
Touched off by a stablemate in 7f AW maiden last year; ridden by Moore when beaten a short head on his return (Canute 3l away in third) at Leopaardstown and wasn't stopping over 1m that day; can confirm form with Canute although it might be closer on this quicker ground; interesting to see Lordan, who has partnered Canute on both starts, now on board.

Well beaten over 2m here on stable/hurdle debut in May and ran to just a fair level when placed over that trip on next two outings; however, last year's useful Irish Flat form over middle-distance/staying trips in headgear offers hope he can improve over hurdles now he's upped to 2m4f with a visor refitted; interesting.
