Smart hurdles form in the early part of 2022, highlighted by Imperial Cup victory; sixth behind State Man in County Hurdle six days later; off for ten month after Cork win last year; 1m5f maiden winner at Ballinrobe in July; in rear in two Flat handicaps at Leopardstown in the autumn; hard to be confident.

Form & Verdict
Consistent front-runner has been kept hurdling this season and had been running well in defeat until well-held in the Galway Hurdle; this is much less competitive and he is well-treated, so a big player if bouncing back.

Four hurdle wins at different trips, most recently over 3m at Clonmel in November; respectable fourth here behind Ad Caleum last month but may not have been suited by tight Ballinrobe track latest; others with stronger claims.
