Form & Verdict
Good start to his hurdles career, winning at Killarney in August and first past the post against the season's leading juvenile so far Wodhooh at Listowel but was justifiably disqualified; more to do here but there could easily be more to come from him; gelded since his last run.

Met with heavy defeats in his two Flat races last term and hasn't lived up to expectations as a hurdler; 2024 was much more promising, including with his second in this race off 1lb lower than today, and it may be good a pointer to see how his two stablemates get on in the Chester Cup.

Flat winner in France; sported this headgear combination for all Irish runs; started off over hurdles with a second at Galway (soft) and this represents a welcome drop in class from contesting three Graded races; the middle one of those was encouraging and he has a pull in the weights with two ahead of him that day (Batman Girac and Miss Manzor); could go well for an Irish trainer who is always respected on his British forays.
