Form & Verdict
Unexposed 6yo who was very respectable third of 15 on handicap hurdle debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in February; not seen again since but Jonjo O'Neill is evidently very keen to switch this Irish point runner-up to chasing.

10yo with a record of 3-30; has patchy profile and was tailed off at Warwick last month but he finished a close second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift.
