Form & Verdict
Didn't show much in point-to-points or maiden hurdles but was successful on handicap debut at Naas (2m, good to yielding) and followed up two weeks later off 7lb higher at Clonmel (2m1f, good to yielding); this demands more.

Half-brother to Delegator; weak form on the Flat for Owen Burrows but off the mark on second start for this yard when winning Kilbeggan maiden hurdle (15.5f, good to yielding) last month (Following Orders in sixth); this is tougher but he's respected.
