Very useful juvenile hurdler, winner of two of his four races, though well held in Grade 1 Aintree contest last month; runner-up in two of his three Flat starts, over 1m at Punchestown at two and over 1m2f at Cork early last season, form boosted by the third-placed Nations Call.

Flat and jumps winner for Joseph O'Brien; it's not been an easy start for current yard, finishing last in the Grade 2 Kingwell (50-1) and then well down the field when 100-1 for the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham; has something to prove all of a sudden.

Form & Verdict
Received an initial rating of 87, principally derived from two runs in France last season; failed to show similar form in two Dundalk runs on joining this stable; has shown potential for maiden hurdle success with Cork second; confirmed fair credentials at Gowran last month, did not seem to stay the extended 1m4f then, this trip may suit better; tongue-tie on now.
