Form & Verdict
Leopardstown 2m handicap win last Christmas took his mark to career-high 148; hasn't looked a natural in two attempts chasing and now reverts to hurdles with major claims, having shown his stamina when fourth in last year's Pertemps Final.

Aged 11 but he's a seriously unexposed, dark horse on Flat; smart hurdles form in Grade 1s in August 2024-May 2025; three Irish maiden races are all he's contested on Flat, when runner-up twice last year (2m/1m6f) and winning by a short head this August (2m) but he's not been hit hard with this opening Flat mark and having Willie Mullins as his trainer demands respect.
