Went 0-7 on the Flat and he's now 0-6 as a hurdler; has been knocking on the door and ran to form when fourth at Leopardstown last time but good bit to find with Mordor on that.

Form & Verdict

Listowel 2yo winner ran just once on the level at three; promising hurdles debut second here (third and fourth have won since) in November but ran well below expectations at Leopardstown in testing conditions, never travelling; worth another chance back on better ground.

Won a Curragh maiden on heavy for Fozzy Stack in April; sold for 50,000gns at the Newmarket Autumn Sale and pleasing enough hurdles debut at Limerick over Christmas, only losing third late on behind a hot favourite, not fluent at times; entitled to improve for that but this looks a deeper race.
