Dual-purpose maiden; yet to hit the frame in six starts over hurdles but didn't run too badly at Cork (2m4f, good) on his return from a 254-day break; has run well here on the Flat on soft and stays 2m in that sphere; looks well worth a go at this trip; interesting. |

2-28 with both wins coming at Sligo, the most recent off 2lb lower last June (20.5f, good); has run well over C&D off higher marks in the past and likes good ground; go well. |

Winner of his third hurdle start when taking a Down Royal maiden in August last year (2m4f, good); nothing since and has been tailed off in three most recent starts; fences need to spark a return to form. |

27th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 63y |

Dual-purpose maiden; 0-9 over hurdles; didn't get the clearest of runs when a 7.25l third of 15 at Sligo last time out; ran well over this C&D a year ago when a 1l second of 16 off 5lb lower; rain would be a worry, chance if it misses. |

Gained a deserved second chase win off 4lb lower at Sligo early last month (3m2f, gd-yld), his second win at that track; previously ran well on soft at Ballinrobe (2m7f); in fine fettle and should be in the mix again. |
