Form & Verdict

Dual-purpose Flat winner is 0-6 over timber; no impact in four maidens and similar story in first two handicaps; well beaten in hot handicap back on the Flat latest at Galway; is surely capable of better but hard to fancy in current form.

Dual-purpose maiden; 0-5 over hurdles but went close on last try in this sphere in a handicap hurdle at Tramore (2m1f, good) in June 2023; off 432 days after that and not beaten too far on second run back on the Flat at Navan (1m6f, good); probably needs the ground to dry out.
