Form & Verdict
Progressive in three runs in April/May, culminating in a maiden win over an extended 1m2f on good ground at Roscommon; given a break and should be fully primed for this following his second to Prairie Angel over 1m4f at Roscommon last month; was conceding 9lb to the winner who won readily on his hurdling debut at Down Royal

Progress on the Flat featured a 1m2f maiden win on good ground; has wasted no time in raising his profile as a hurdler and this Navan maiden winner pocketed valuable course experience when a rallying third behind dead-heaters Quantock Hills and Teriferma here in December (good to soft); beaten since in a Punchestown heavy-ground handicap won by Slurricane, but can jump better than he did that day and nothing was finishing stronger; has more scope than your typical ex-Flat 4yo; makes the shortlist in first-time headgear.
