Form & Verdict
Took hurdles mark to a career-high 130 with 3m Galway festival handicap win; ran well off 125 chase mark when second to the subsequent Kerry National winner Desertmore House over 3m1f at Kilbeggan; third in a mares' novice chase at Listowel; along with Lucid Dreams has the benefit of race fitness, but Feronily is a tough opponent.

Formerly very useful for Gordon Elliott but made low-key stable/hunter chase debut in February and his three subsequent pointing seconds all came in small fields; swaps visor for refitted blinkers today.
