10st 4lb |
Best of three hurdle runs for new stable this season when second of five in soft-ground Leicester seller (2m4f) in December; reverts to this code after going close off his basement Flat mark three weeks ago but others have more compelling claims; first ride under rules for Elizabeth Feakes. |

This season's hurdling form for Fergal O'Brien was uninspiring and he was safely held when fourth in C&D classified race on Flat return in January; difficult to enthuse over. |

Maiden after 22 starts; looked likely to win over C&D last month but found little when the chips were down and finished third to Jelski; clearly good enough to win off this mark but doubts will remain until he does it. |

Weak Tramore maiden hurdle winner in 2022 (2m, good); some reasonable efforts following that, particularly a nose second behind the decent Meetingofthewaters at Cork later that year (2m4f, yielding to soft); generally poor form since then but some of his best recent runs have been here, 6l fourth of 13 over C&D last time (behind Georgia Celena); others preferred. |
