Maiden form not much to write home about; could be more of a factor now dipping his toes into handicap grade, but on the face of it, looks up against it.

Flat-bred, but one half-brother has won three chases; trail has gone cold since the summer's pair of Worcester 2m4f handicap hurdle frame finishes (good), and moderate results last time cheekpieces were tried.

Seemingly boosted by change of headgear when making the frame in consecutive 2m4f handicaps at Worcester this summer but his run there last time was disappointing and it's now over two years since his only win; drops back in trip today; others have more pressing claims.

Form & Verdict
Gradually progressive in recent weeks and gained just rewards when coming up trumps in a combination of today's headgear at Kilbeggan 8 days ago; still raced a little free that day so potential for more here under his 4lb penalty if he settles a little better; on form in any case and looks one of the more likely ones.

Jumping fell apart in a chase at Roscommon on return from a long layoff (756-days); in good form prior to that over hurdles, but clock is ticking and it won't be easy here under top weight to make up for lost time; first-time tongue-tie.
