Form & Verdict

Shock Navan handicap hurdle winner over 2m in October on seasonal debut; proved that was not a fluke with fourth at this venue; subsequent Limerick run may have come too soon; made an excellent start over fences when winning a 3m handicap at Navan on Saturday; the quick reappearance is possibly a more serious concern than the 7lb extra.
