Off the mark when showing improved form to beat a subsequent winner in 2m Punchestown maiden in February (heavy); place prospects when last-flight faller in 2m4f Perth handicap in April (soft) and has since left Willie Mullins; probably needs to improve to play a major role on yard debut. |

Winner of a Down Royal maiden hurdle in March 2024; reported coughing after a poor run the following month; off for almost two years before chasing debut at Naas two months ago, jumped untidily and never in contention. |

Rated 125 over hurdles; fell and unseated in his point runs; winner of a Down Royal maiden hurdle in March 2024; coughed following a very poor effort in a novice contest here in April 2024; unseen since then and can only be watched after such a long absence. |

Maiden hurdle winner in 2024 has won three chases since and is rated 128 in that sphere; was second in a Bellewstown claimer in August when last over hurdles; a spin in the charity race at Punchestown can have him straight; valuable 5lb claimer a help. |

Reversed previous C&D form with King Roly under an aggressive front-running ride from Sean Bowen here 17 days ago (good); that wasn't without the occasional scare over his fences but he's clearly capable of going well again off just 4lb higher. |

Some promise in three maidens, notably when staying on late into fourth of 16 at this venue (16.5f, heavy) in February; looked a potential improver on handicap debut but that didn't come to fruition; the jury is out. |

His four-race Irish career stalled but he made a winning start for new yard by a neck in maiden hurdle at Hereford (2m, good) in April, leading at the final flight; the second, third, sixth and ninth have won over hurdles since; with more still to learn in that Hereford race, he brings potential as well as a leading chance on form. |

Yet to get his head in front this summer but fine efforts in defeat in the Tribes at Galway and when beaten 1l over 2m1f at this venue behind the subsequent Galway hurdle winner; creeping up the weights and hasn't been shaping as though this longer trip is what he wants. |
