Form & Verdict

Ran a blinder when narrowly losing out over 2m7f on soft ground at Punchestown; bit too keen when not as effective in a 2m3f Cork next start; back on song when staying on stoutly in a competitive Punchestown festival bumper latest; has the makings of a decent hurdler and likely to apprecitate the return to such here; taken seriously.

Bumped into a number of classy operators when housed with Mags Mullins; no wild price on recent stable debut when running poorly at Fairyhouse; needs to leave that run far behind and not convinced the step up in trip is ideal, but far too early to write off here in any case.

Form & Verdict

Has run up a sequence of solid runs in defeat but has become limited at this stage and behind two of these (Mickie Angel and Talk In The Park) on previous encounters; that said, ticks a lot of the right boxes and encounters very few here with the potential to scale dizzy heights, so likely to take high rank again.
