Low-mileage Irish raider who held on well for hard-fought C&D win (soft) on last month's chasing debut; contests a stronger race today but has very obvious scope for further progress.

T: John C McConnell

Pulled up on final hurdle run last September (had blood in both nostrils post-race); however, this very lightly raced 5yo impressed in a novice hurdle at Ayr (2m, soft) last February and could be a major force if tapping back into that promise on his chase debut; betting may be informative.

Form & Verdict
French recruit who impressed on his British debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) over Christmas, making virtually all to score by 7l; flopped at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) about three weeks ago but remains of interest in view of his penultimate performance.

Won here (2m, soft) last season and back on the scoresheet at Market Rasen (2m, soft) in December; well beaten at Haydock (2m3f, heavy) last time and remains unproven at today's sort of trip, but perhaps the very testing ground was too much and this 5yo is not written off.

Racing from out of the weights in an 0-140 was more the issue than the eight-month absence (has defied similar) at Wetherby latest (2m, heavy); player with easier grade, the ground and lower mark all positives.

Displayed ability at up to 1m4f on the Flat in France but he was a well-beaten fourth of eight at 12-1 on hurdle/stable debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) on New Year's Day and considerable improvement is required.

Form & Verdict
Showed promise in France and won on British debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in November; disappointing behind Start In Front at Wetherby (2m, soft) since but the first-time tongue-tie may help him get back on track.

Just 1-11 over hurdles but returned from long absence with two good thirds this season, the latter at Bangor (2m3f, good) 11 days ago; soft ground also suits; player if he takes well to fences.
