5 yo Gelding

OR: 122

Form & Verdict
There's some substance to the maiden hurdle he won at Killarney a month ago (2m1f, good) before changing hands for £42,000; should be hard to beat provided he's settled in to his new surroundings.

Pulled up over hurdles on final two runs for Ben Pauling but he won his two previous Flat races when trained in Ireland and belatedly completed a hat-trick when coming from last to first despite steady fractions in a 1m6f handicap at Sandown in June (good); raised a fair 5lb; showed some early promise on slow ground.
