Form & Verdict
Pleasing start to his rules career when third of 13 at Newbury in January (2m, soft) but neither subsequent run has been comparable; receives 12lb from More Coko and he'll be a danger if returning to the Newbury form.

J: Caoilin Quinn

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Just one win from six attempts over hurdles but already better over fences; ready winner of handicap at Newbury (2m, good) in December and might have followed up over this C&D but for falling two out when a narrow leader (bled from the nose); needs further improvement but he's going the right way.

Form & Verdict
The winner of all three starts, unextended in a Tramore bumper (2m, good) on debut and landing a maiden hurdle there on New Year's Day (2m1f, heavy); never off the bridle when sauntering to success at Carlisle five weeks ago (2m1f, soft); bred to stay this longer trip and he looks to have been found a golden opportunity to maintain his perfect record.

Standout run from seven attempts over fences when chasing home a stablemate in Grade 3 handicap over C&D in January from 4lb out of handicap proper (yielding); heavy ground probably against him when 10l off Jigoro at Gowran last time, will appreciate any drying.

Soundly beaten in four starts in beginners' events; found his level on handicap debut at Fairyhouse, despite being 4lb out of the handicap, beating all bar stablemate Western Diego; fell at the sixth when one of the main fancies for a valuable DRF handicap; tongue-tie added.

Not solid on his hurdling exploits (0-7) and he ran no race on chase debut last time (2m4f); this longer trip is probably a better fit for him so may leave that latest run behind.

Mixed form over hurdles this season but runner-up at Plumpton (3m1f, good) two starts ago and stable has much better strike-rate with chasers than hurdlers nowadays; not ruled out on first run over fences.

Did not show a great deal in his qualifying races last season (2m3f-2m5f) and unseated rider at third flight when upped to 3m2f for handicap debut in March (race subsequently declared void); returns from six-month break.
