Killarney maiden hurdle winner in July 2023; rated 127 in that sphere; mixed bag since and has finished well-beaten on both chase starts, over 2m4f at Kilbeggan and 23.5f at Killarney on latest; surely capable of better and the drop back in trip here should suit; gets weight from his rivals and has a chance if on a going day.

Useful juvenile hurdler and is rated 127 at that game; cheekpieces worn when collared late at Ballinrobe are left off over this longer trip; interesting to see if this Flat-bred takes to fences.
