Form & Verdict
Placed in three consecutive handicap hurdles in Ireland last summer/autumn (2m-2m2f, good) and started off for Tony Carroll with four AW wins in early part of this year; still in good form on the Flat and looks very interesting now back over hurdles.

Dual C&D winner; drops into a 0-55 for the first time since completing the last leg of a four-timer at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in February, since when he has won over hurdles; may have done too much early when fifth of 12 back here 18 days ago; very much of interest at this level; stable also runs Boujee Gold.

Rattled off a four-timer on the AW at the start of the year including two wins over C&D; won over hurdles in June and capable of playing a part off this mark if producing his best.

Form & Verdict
Very progressive on the AW since switching to current stable in the autumn (five wins) and beat three rivals very comfortably to make a winning handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) nine days ago; carries 7lb penalty here but could still be a long way ahead of his mark.

Highly fruitful in his two and a half years with this yard, including two wins (Flat/hurdles) this February/March; needs to bounce back from a rare flop but the chief concern is his 0-15 record on Flat turf.
