Form & Verdict
Won sole Irish point start in winter 2022 (3m, good to yielding); subsequent Kelso success (good; just got up) and penalised Huntingdon third (soft) set the bumper form standard here, and appeal not hard to see ahead of this change of discipline as the son of a winning 2m hurdler.

Some progressive form in handicap hurdles last season at up to 3m and, after two defeats over fences, he reverted to hurdles and finished fifth of six in the Grade 2 Relkeel Hurdle (2m4f) here on New Year's Day; that was a respectable performance but he faces another tough task today.

Nephew of Irish National winner General Principle; achieved more on the first (yielding to soft) of two maiden hurdle starts for Harry Kelly in the summer, each over a 2m trip liable to prove shy of optimum; sets beatable standard of those with hurdling experience.

Made the frame in three maidens (2m-2m4f) last summer but he's failed to complete in last two starts including when back in a handicap at Plumpton (pulled up) in September; hurdling record now stands at 0-12 and has something to prove on his return; change of headgear.

Half-sister I Spy A Diva won the mares' novice on this card in 2022, and dam's brother was a C&D scorer also (all for the same connections); non-stayer of trips in excess of 2m last winter, and fate likely rests on how much he's come on during a six-month break.

Form & Verdict
Irish point winner (3m, good to yielding), but has weakened on both bumper starts since, either side of a wind operation; a bit to take on trust right now therefore, but still possible he'll have something to offer over 2m under rules (nephew of Grand Annual winner Tiger Cry).

Won an Irish point but it's been a very underwhelming start under rules for his top yard and hopes pinned on the longer trip and/or tongue-tie making a difference.
