Form & Verdict

Well-exposed sort, placed in ten of his 17 starts on Flat; has been switching between Flat and hurdles lately; not one of his better runs in a Leopardstown handicap last Thursday; could reach the money in this company if restored to form.

Form & Verdict

Picked up for 48,000euros at Arqana sale last November after two runs in France; hard to assess the merit of his second in a 1m3f AW contest last October but the bar is set low for his Irish debut; gelded since last seen.
