Form & Verdict

Form last August to January commands plenty of respect; however, others appeal more on what he's achieved in two starts since a break, for all that he was settling better with a hood enlisted; the hood is now removed.

Form & Verdict

Promising hurdles debut (2m5f, good to soft) but has been soundly beaten twice since over hurdles (2m4f, soft); however, he's a former good-ground Irish point winner and, although the drop in trip is of some concern, there's a good chance he'll improve for this switch to fences on handicap debut.

Form & Verdict

Ex-Irish 8yo who won two (about 2m in the mud) of his first three starts for Jonjo O'Neill but not so good on three starts since; 2m on good ground gives him something to prove but he could well improve for this switch to fences and he can't be ruled out.
