Form & Verdict
Narrowly denied in a point and promising form under rules, only finding one too good at Sligo and better form when beaten a head at Fairyhouse in December; 2m4f on heavy too testing when last seen but may bounce back here having been freshened up with four month break.

Decent novice, winning a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle and a Grade 3 novice at Navan; probably stepped up on that when a well beaten second to stablemate Romeo Coolio here at Christmas; others preferred.

Off the mark at the fourth attempt in bumpers and has run with promise in two maiden hurdles so far; could be a player if he jumps a bit slicker this time.
