Form & Verdict
Strong claims in this company based on a third placing behind the useful Loughglynn in a 2m5f maiden hurdle at Punchestown last November; however, has failed to match that form in point-to-points; probably vulnerable, though the addition of blinkers may help; trainer also runs Miners Bridge.

Lightly raced 6yo who produced his best run yet in a handicap when keeping on for 5l fourth of eight to Whatsupwithyou at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last month; back up in grade today and improvement is needed, but a stronger pace could help in this big field; one to consider.
