Maiden hurdler sprang 25-1 shock on belated Flat debut over this trip at Dundalk in December 2023, looking green but seeing it out well; failed to back that up in handicap company off tough opening mark; 4lb lower on turf now but lengthy absence to overcome.

Well beaten over 2m here on stable/hurdle debut in May and ran to just a fair level when placed over that trip on next two outings; however, last year's useful Irish Flat form over middle-distance/staying trips in headgear offers hope he can improve over hurdles now he's upped to 2m4f with a visor refitted; interesting.

Fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland; quiet on hurdle/stable debut and although he ran better to be second at Worcester (2m, good to soft), that was a modest race; likely to need more here.

18-race maiden with a Flat background; the odd piece of form is worth noting and she has never been lower in the weights, but she's suffered four non-completions on the bounce (fell midrace on chase debut latest); a bit risky in the new hood (replacing tongue-tie).
