Form & Verdict
Irish point winner who was second to useful rivals in two big-field bumpers in spring 2021 and made satisfactory hurdle debut the following October; returns from long layoff in a pretty thin race and can pose a potent threat if tuned up; market may guide.

Two wins include 2m6f Downpatrick novice last summer but no impact as yet in handicaps, latest when reportedly never travelling at Navan; cheekpieces now tried but may want better ground.

Seventh of 20 in Pertemps Series Qualifier at Cheltenham last month; that was his handicap debut and he's not obviously well treated but he's unexposed; it's notable he's the yard's first-string.

Promising in bumpers in spring 2021 and returned from a long absence with two hurdle wins this summer (2m/2m6f); shade disappointing when only fourth of five at Killarney this month but remains unexposed; no surprise if he features on handicap debut.

Irish point winner; sold out of Stuart Crawford's stable for 16,000gns in July 2023; still unexposed in handicaps and ran a promising race returning to better ground when a close third at Stratford (2m2f, good) last month; only 1lb higher here and he's not ruled out.
