Form & Verdict
Just worried out of it when stepped up to 3m for his handicap debut at Ffos Las (good) and perhaps soft ground didn't suit when favourite next time (tailed off in first-time cheekpieces); ground conditions could be key to his chance.

Some decent form on the Flat in Ireland but has offered little in six hurdle starts for his current yard, including in three handicaps (2m1f-2m4f); the longer trip may help but wouldn't bank on it.
