Form & Verdict

Course 2m maiden winner on debut last May on good-to-yielding; halfway faller at Down Royal in March on return from 227-day absence; satisfactory run in fourth in a 2m4f Fairyhouse handicap; others better suited by the race conditions.

Form & Verdict

Won a maiden point for Denis Murphy a year ago; stable's second-string in a bumper before landing a 2m maiden hurdle at Limerick with plenty to spare; dismal effort at Fairyhouse in January; some reassurance form Navan run, but hardly good enough to win this.
