Won claiming hurdles at Limerick and Sligo before being given a lot to do on the Flat (another claimer) last month; running well but this could be a better race than the ones he's been winning. |

12st 0lb |
Built on recent handicap efforts when landing a Bellewstown claiming hurdle (20.5f) in August; heavily backed over 3m at Listowel when last seen back in a handicap, he struggled off 120 and was pulled up; this is easier and the drop in trip will help back over fences. |

Built on recent handicap efforts when winning a Bellewstown claiming hurdle; a 7lb rise for that looks harsh and he will have to pull out more. |

Decent on the Flat at up to 1m and won a Listed novice hurdle at Galway last year; starts off in handicap chases from a mark 6lb lower than his hurdles rating although the bare form of his two spins over fences earlier this month would suggest the handicapper could have been kinder. |

Maiden after 22 starts; looked likely to win over C&D last month but found little when the chips were down and finished third to Jelski; clearly good enough to win off this mark but doubts will remain until he does it. |
