Form & Verdict

Dual chase winner at this track; can come on from Gowran hurdle return and competes off a 13lb lower hurdles mark so highly likely to be a major player.

Got off the mark when a wide margin Gowran winner over 2m4f on heavy; however, was a 16l 3rd at Cork since and needs more off the same mark.
