Form & Verdict

Flat winner in Britain (rated 69) is 0-5 hurdling, pick of form came when fourth in C&D maiden at Christmas; recent form on better ground not nearly as good so likely to appreciate the return to softer ground.

Yeats gelding is closely related to 1m4f/1m6f Flat and 2m2f/2m4f hurdle winner Aprils Joy, half-brother to winners Jennys Surprise (2m4f-3m2f hurdle/chase) and Ballysteen (bumper and 2m hurdle/2m2f chase); dam 1m6f Flat, bumper and 2m1f hurdle winner; nicely-bred debutant worth a market check for local yard.

Form & Verdict

Ordinary on the Flat but proving a better hurdler, winning start in early-season Ballinrobe maiden (good) and some creditable placings but hasn't really improved, plenty keen in first-time cheekpieces at Naas on latest and weakening quite tamely from the last; unproven on soft ground.
