Form & Verdict
Still-improving Flat handicapper recorded career-best when readily landing valuable 2m York handicap in August on fast ground; sole previous run over hurdles came when comfortably beating a decent sort (third won at Gowran on Friday) in 2m Roscommon maiden last summer; very interesting now pitched into handicap company although prospect of soft ground a concern.

Most success on good ground and won his only start on good to firm; reliable in recent seasons, which included Flat wins over 2m at Clonmel (in fine style) last September and 1m6f at Fairyhouse (non-handicap; smoothly) six weeks ago; this mark gives him more to prove (third at Newmarket last term off 5lb lower) but he needs respect.
