Form & Verdict

Irish point winner who fetched £225,000 after; drew clear in a Warwick bumper (soft) despite looking in need of the experience and his game was sharper all round when making all on heavy at Exeter; ended up tailed off in the Champion Bumper but interesting that he was deemed up to that challenge and he was a big market mover on the day (went off at only 7-1); interesting.

Chased home a nice prospect in his bumper (for Tom Weston) but needed to show more on stable/hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) to believe he can trouble the best of these; stepping up in trip should help.

Posted a useful RPR on his successful hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) and there's a good chance that he never gave his true running next time at Cheltenham (good); remains a nice prospect but carries a penalty against others who fall into that category.
