Form & Verdict

Modest hurdler; point winner whose second to It's On The Line in a novice hunter chase at Tipperary a year ago looks so much better after what that progressive type has achieved recently; has failed to add to his point-to-point tally since but another fine effort on the track last time when pipped by Annamix at Killarney (2m7f); leading contender.

Useful Rules performer ran two decent races off 133 in Galway festival handicap chases last summer; won just one of his seven point-to-point starts this year, at Ballyraggett in March, but his fourth to Billaway, with Vaucelet in second, at Downpatrick is good form and obviously less to do in this company.
