Form & Verdict
Well beaten in the Goffs Defender Bumper on debut in April but much better efforts both hurdle starts lately; 4th at Down Royal over 2m1f and Punchestown over this trip; this is a weak contest and a reproduction of those runs will make him difficult to beat.

Placed in a couple of points; 1-16 over hurdles and rated 119 in that sphere; however, was pulled up in successive races at Galway and Killarney when last seen last August and while there's a good chance he'll make a chaser on breeding, he's tended to need his comeback runs in the past.
