Form & Verdict
Did his best work late on when 4l third of eight in bumper at Ayr (good; 10-1; neck behind Step Out) in March; nice hurdling prospect, although he's stoutly bred and will probably be suited by 2m4f+ in due course.

Promising gelding; shaped well in bumper at Ayr before belying market weakness to make winning hurdling debut on same course (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago with plenty in hand; quite stoutly bred but clearly has lots of speed; probably a useful novice at least and needs serious consideration.

Form & Verdict
Bought for £105,000 after comfortably winning an Irish point in November 2023; raced too freely in Newbury bumper in March, then was tenderly handled when second of ten on hurdling debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft; incurred 40-day ban for schooling in public); has since had wind surgery; promising mare, open to plenty of improvement.
