Limitations exposed in Grade 2 bumpers at Leopardstown and Aintree the last twice but she ran to a high level in that discipline in late 2023; all starts on soft or heavy; makes hurdle debut at a realistic level; interesting contender for a yard that runs three.

Room for improvement in his hurdling but he got off the mark at the eighth attempt when comfortably seeing off 16 rivals in a Clonmel maiden (2m3f, good to yielding) last month; tough task under a penalty at Kilbeggan last week (3m1f) and ran creditably; strong claims in this lesser event.

Two point wins this spring; second of nine on his rules/stable debut at Cartmel 13 days ago but that was a modest hunter chase (2m5f, good) and an RPR of 98 suggests he's up against it now switched to hurdling.

His first run at about 3m when winning at Newcastle (good to soft) and then ran second at Warwick; latest Musselburgh run wasn't too shoddy given he was held up off the pace before staying on and he reportedly bled that day; had a break since and wouldn't be fully exposed as a stayer.
