Was gaining a 12th win (five in claimers) on the Flat when taking Ballinrobe handicap last month in some style under today's rider; two days later folded quite tamely once headed over shorter trip at Naas, that race may have come too soon; veteran respected. |

11st 12lb |
119-rated maiden hurdle winner; mixing hurdling and the Flat this season; below par efforts on the level at Gowran and over timber at Ballinrobe (2m1f good to yielding) last two starts; chasing debut and related to a number of winners over fences; don't discount. |

Hasn't convinced in four handicaps so far and needs a big step forward if he is to figure here. |
