J: Paddy Hanlon

T: John Joseph Hanlon

Godolphin cast off left previous hurdling form behind when landing a Cork maiden in May (17.5f, good), earning a rating of 117; unseated on the Flat at Leopardstown on only start since; a bit to find on the figures but will like the ground and not dismissed.

Bought for £27,000 off Godolphin for whom he won a 1m4f AW novice last year; tailed off on handicap debut at Gowran in April but came good in a maiden hurdle at Cork and now might tap back into that promise he showed for former connections; tongue-tie added.

Good effort here (1m4f) on second start but he ran poorly on a subsequent course start; very mixed in turf handicaps since but the step up to 2m on Tapeta debut at Newcastle recently saw his staying qualities come to the fore; back up 3lb but a major player if holding his form.

Didn't show a great deal on debut but different proposition at Southwell (1m3f, sole run on Tapeta) 20 days later, winning a seven-runner novice; well below that level back at Kempton latest but perhaps this return to Tapeta will turn things around again; also tries headgear on this handicap debut.
