Form & Verdict
Won a three-runner Navan maiden in April and beaten less than two lengths in the Listed Yeats Stakes; overcame some very sloppy jumping to make a winning hurdles debut at Killarney last month; has to give away plenty of weight to most of these but looks certain to improve and whatever rain falls will suit.

Already looks a much better hurdler; got up late to win a Tipperary maiden hurdle in July and would almost certainly have won with better jumping late on at Down Royal; big player here and handles most ground.
