Form & Verdict

Dual hurdles winner and was gaining second win over fences when running away with 2m Thurles handicap last month on soft (Hgranca De Thaix third) off a decent pace; not a fluent jumper on occasions but much better on latest; 10lb rise looks a bit harsh but should run well and longer trip no problem.

Form & Verdict

Point-to-point and maiden hurdle winner came up against smart novices on both attempts chasing earlier this term, finishing a remote third behind American Mike and Fact To File at Navan and then chasing home 13l winner Embassy Gardens over 3m at Punchestown; opening mark 3lb higher than hurdles mark but has to be respected.
