Form & Verdict
Useful form when trained by Emmet Mullins in Ireland, most notably when placed in valuable Lingfield handicap (2m, heavy) last winter; finished tired and was eventually beaten about 57l when third on stable debut at Warwick (2m5f, soft) in March but that race developed into a slog and he certainly didn't run badly; drops back in trip here and can be given another chance.

Posted a couple of reasonable fourths at Perth (2m4f, good) in August/September and continues to drop down the weights; however, he was soundly beaten at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago and needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Smart 2yo for Donnacha O'Brien in Ireland but has became very disappointing on the Flat, most recently struggling in Class 5 handicaps; needs this switch to hurdling to revive his fortunes; hood removed.

Placed on all four hurdling starts last season; not at best when third in Sedgefield maiden (2m1f, heavy) last month but that was his first run since November and he'll likely be better suited by the quicker ground here; sports first-time cheekpieces; leading contender.
