1m5f handicap winner and landed a Killarney maiden in May; behind Bright Legend at Listowel in his final run over hurdles but has since run really well on his chase debut; hard to rule out.

Form & Verdict

Flat background; it was a much weaker race that he won at Cork (2m, yielding) but did that in the style of an improver; stiffer mark and company to deal with but lurks on a low weight.

Form & Verdict

Flat-bred and the winner of a 1m maiden; beat 16 rivals to win his maiden hurdle at Galway and ran perfectly well in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse, especially having raced keenly; interesting handicap debutant with his age allowance.
