Form & Verdict
Has joined a top yard since a promising second for a small Northern Irish stable in a maiden over this trip at Dundalk in March; 100-1, kept on for second behind the long odds-on Sakti who was placed twice in Pattern races last season; third-placed Cill Mocheallog won his next start; gelded now and has tongue-tie fitted; interesting.

Form & Verdict
Two good runs in AW maidens over this trip last winter; not far off that form at Fairyhouse last month when chasing home a hot favourite over 6f in first-time cheekpieces; has been below his best in two handicap outings, the most recent at Limerick last week.

Raced at 1m this season, for a good fourth on reappearance but well-beaten second favourite here next time; this is a rethink on trip but a C&D third last June and 1m2f win last September are encouraging.

One of two for yard; Flat recruit didn't show a whole lot in six runs in that sphere (rated 39); not an obvious candidate for hurdling on pedigree; probably best watched on first start over timber.
