Form & Verdict
Progressive handicap hurdler, winning here in 2022 and when better than ever to win last month under forcing tactics at Naas and Ballinrobe; sole previous run over fences came when not featuring in C&D handicap last October but has to be seen in a different light now and respected off 16lb lower mark than hurdles.
