Another ex-Gavin Cromwell inmate who secured narrow win over fences at Punchestown (2m, good to yielding) in June; 0-5 for this yard but February's close second of five at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) on penultimate start was a creditable effort; stable in fine form. |

Grade 3-placed hurdler nowhere near that level in four chase starts, okay effort in 2m4f Naas beginners'; absent since disappointing favourite on handicap debut over 2m at Tipperary last July, fading tamely from last after racing up with pace; trip more in his favour on comeback and still scope for improvement off 12lb lower chase mark. |
