Form & Verdict
No wins since landing a Listed novice hurdle at Limerick two years ago and not seen in this sphere since pulling up in this race last year; a bit below form on the Flat of late and while he's dropped back down to a workable mark in this sphere, others are more convincing.

Had further wind surgery prior to a poor effort last time (2m5f) but may benefit from this step back up in trip and he has become attractively treated, being 3lb below the mark he defied in October (2m7f); Harry Skelton prefers him over the improving Top Guy; interesting.

Form & Verdict
Gained a second win over timber at Tramore in August and bounced back from a lesser run over shorter when runner-up at Limerick (3m) last month; the third from that contest went close at Down Royal at the weekend and he ought to go well again, despite a 3lb rise.

5-40 under rules, three of those have come in chases, the latest at Tramore last summer (2m6f, good); yet to hit form this year although recent 9l second to Rocky's Howya in 3m Roscommon claiming hurdle was a step in the right direction and enjoys an 8lb pull in the weights with that rival back in handicap company.
