Hit the crossbar in three of his maiden hurdle starts last year; not at his best in two recent runs on the level but he's a player if he sees out this new trip over timber; wears first-time blinkers.

Too bad to be true when tailed off at Roscommon in June but posted a career best when beaten roughly 1l at Punchestown in April and he's a big player if he returns to that level of form; ground versatile.

Lost her maiden tag over timber at Downpatrick in July; tailed off in two beginners' either side of that run and this mark demands more but may do better now handicapping; suspicion she wants quicker ground though.

Form & Verdict
Flat winner on final start for John and Thady Gosden; losing run since but left his two previous hurdle efforts behind when third of 16 in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown in February, catching the attention of the stewards in the process (received 42-day ban); poor run on the Flat latest but not discounted if he resumes progress in this sphere and longer trip should suit.
