Form & Verdict
Led when third at Killarney and when not so good at Tipperary; came from off the pace when third at Listowel (fifth won since) and ground here likely to be similar; dam won over 1m4f and sibling a winning hurdler so longer trip may well suit.

Sole success over hurdles a Fairyhouse maiden (2m, heavy) in February 2024; beaten a head off 3lb lower at the Galway Festival last August (2m1f, good); shaped like this trip might suit when remote third behind Jacovec Tavern at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding) in sole start since; could go well.

Won over 1m6f on the Flat at the 2024 Galway festival; never landed a blow when 6-1 for the big amateur handicap at the same fixture last July; different proposition later that week, only just denied in a valuable 2m1f handicap hurdle; could be a big player if fit and ready.

Just behind Time To Soar when fourth over C&D on second start and closely matched with Toll Stone on collateral form of subsequent fourth at Navan; looked far from straightforward on that occasion, though, and bombed out on heavy ground since.
