Form & Verdict
Defied a poor round of jumping and a tendency to hang right when winning a 2m handicap hurdle at Naas in January; well beaten since though; new headgear tried today and claims at his best but hard to fancy on current evidence.

Best of three hurdle runs for new stable this season when second of five in soft-ground Leicester seller (2m4f) in December; reverts to this code after going close off his basement Flat mark three weeks ago but others have more compelling claims; first ride under rules for Elizabeth Feakes.

This season's hurdling form for Fergal O'Brien was uninspiring and he was safely held when fourth in C&D classified race on Flat return in January; difficult to enthuse over.
