Form & Verdict
Emphatic winner of a Rathcannon maiden point for Ellmarie Holden last November; placed in his two bumper starts at Leopardstown, including third behind the subsequent Cheltenham winner A Dream To Share in a Grade 2 event; in contention when making a mistake two out on hurdling debut in a Grade 2 event at Kelso; this should be a formality for him.

Good third over hurdles here in May and is a half-brother to three winning chasers, two of them for this yard; recent Sligo run should have left him spot-on and one to consider.

Stepped up from debut when fourth in a Punchestown maiden in January, despite making several jumping errors; no match for an easy winner at Clonmel; found little when fourth over this trip at Naas a fortnight ago; unlikely to be a match for Feronily.
