Impressive when winning a maiden hurdle over C&D last season before a solid 5l fifth in a novice handicap hurdle here; below form on return at Leopardstown in December but he looks well treated and a return to this C&D should help if he comes on for that run.

Form & Verdict

Showed promise in maiden hurdles; noticeably well backed when odds on for his handicap debut at Naas last month and won with a fair amount in hand, despite a bad mistake at the last; that form has taken a few knocks since so not guaranteed to follow up with a 13lb rise to cope with.

Form & Verdict

Won maiden hurdle over a similar trip in the summer and runner-up in two novice hurdles that have worked out since (C&D latest); looks well treated on handicap debut and could find improvement for first-time cheekpieces.

15th 3	10th Oct 2023 Yielding 2m 7f 0y	16:45 Punchestown Dovlator 11st 10lb J: J J Slevin T: Dermot A McLoughlin	Well below his best in two handicap hurdles in the spring but a bit better run in a Wexford novice in May; poor over fences last twice.	25/1
