Form & Verdict
Modest form in Flat maidens on easy ground but looked a different horse switched to hurdles and quicker ground when winning a maiden at Tipperary (2m, gd-yld); rated 69 and has to be considered back on the level after that confidence booster.

Six-race maiden on the Flat but he's 3-4 over hurdles and travelled strongly for a long way when close third in the Triumph at Cheltenham last month; split Maestro Conti and Selma De Vary in that race and should make another bold bid here; that last run was on soft but his second win was on good.

Ordinary maiden on the Flat; won hurdling debut at Tipperary in July, however, and has emerged as a leading juvenile hurdler for new yard with his Listed win at Wetherby (good; overcame a bad late mistake) and Triumph Trial win over C&D (good to soft; by just over 6l from Winston Junior); the latter makes him the highest-rated runner in this from a British stable.
