Form & Verdict
Good efforts on two of his three maiden starts, including over 1m4f; came back from a break after being gelded with a solid handicap run at the Curragh over 1m2f; will probably improve going back up in trip, so a major player with cheekpieces added.

Fine effort on debut at Fairyhouse (1m4f) and improved upon that when a close third in a Killarney maiden, though reportedly hung right; looks a serious contender, with this track possibly suiting better.

Largely consistent hurdler, latest win came at Limerick (16.5f, good) in handicap off 102, bolted up by 15l; couldn't land a blow off 12lb higher lto; plenty on plate on chase debut; cheekpieces tried.

Series of placed efforts (including twice here) rewarded by 2m1f Limerick win early last month under enterprising ride, kept wide and making all in beating Dairy Force an eased 15l (good); 12lb hike makes this a lot tougher and unlikely to be given such leeway this time.
