Form & Verdict
Irish point winner (by 16l); the form pick having finished in the frame on all four starts over hurdles, runner-up the last twice, over C&D (soft) and then at Newcastle when chasing home a Mullins-trained favourite (2m1f, good to soft); tongue-tie now tried; the one to beat.

Easy Irish point winner who got better with every run over hurdles last term, landing the odds in maiden on this course (2m, soft) on final start; has untapped potential and should be at least as effective over fences.

Fourth in an Irish point in November 2023 (3m, soft; form worked out quite well); hung left-handed throughout when 12th of 13 in a Perth bumper last April (2m, soft; 9-2); much better expected this time and should have an each-way chance.

£150,000 buy after finishing fourth in an Irish point in November 2023; lightly raced since, but shaped encouragingly on both runs over hurdles and went very close to getting straight off the mark over fences when a neck second at Kelso (2m1f, soft) in November, shaping as though this longer trip would suit; lacks experience but high on the shortlist.
