Well treated on his hurdle win at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) last March but he's had only five runs since and has struggled in all of them; didn't get very far on only previous run over fences and has plenty to prove back in this sphere after 204 days off; stablemate of Killybegs Jet Lady.

Best effort when running away from 12 rivals at Hexham (3m, heavy) in April 2024; hasn't always had suitable conditions since, and she lost a shoe when bidding for a win in the same race 201 days ago; may still have some potential and she's now only 2lb higher than for the win.

Form & Verdict
Only his third run for this yard when dominating a 2m4f handicap hurdle here last month to the tune of 15l; historically well handicapped even with an 11lb rise to deal with and, although 0-11 over fences, he has been placed; may prefer good ground to softer.

Incredibly consistent on his last four starts, three seconds and a win (all on good between 2m3f and 2m5f) returning an RPR of 100 each time; had course form over hurdles for previous connections and he's a player once again from an unchanged mark.

In good form over C&D this summer since the visor returned, just denied on his June reappearance then going one better 20 days later, and matched those efforts when down in trip and runner-up at Stratford (2m3f) last month off this mark; likely to run well again.

Verdict

Recent hurdle winner Limerick Leader is capable of breaking his duck over fences even off his revised mark but today’s testing ground might not be ideal for him. CLOVIS BOY was a strong stayer over hurdles and this 5yo is bred to make a chaser. Stablemate Torosay is feared most ahead of Gipsy Lee Rose.[Alistair Jones]
