Some promise in bumpers and wasn't disgraced when making his debut over hurdles at Cork last month; will need more to land this but has potential and the longer trip may help.

Maiden hurdle winner; tailed off in his only previous handicap but bounced back from that with a respectable show in novice company; absent since October but wouldn't be too dismissive.

Sligo maiden hurdle winner in August (2m5f, good); never counted on the Flat following that and tailed off on handicap hurdle debut at Ballinrobe last time (2m6f, soft); this ground can suit better, but a bit to prove now.

Off the mark in 2m5f Sligo maiden last month (good), didn't count week later in Tramore Flat maiden; unexposed on just third attempt hurdling now switched to handicap but opening mark looks on the high side.

Opening two maiden hurdle runs were encouraging, notably clear C&D second in August (good); clipped heels when bit underwhelming in Kilbeggan bumper following month but demands respect back hurdling in an ordinary maiden.

Promising debut when beaten 15l in a Roscommon maiden hurdle; built on that when beaten only 1.25l in a Sligo maiden hurdle, both over approx' 2m5f; this trip should be fine on bumper debut and should be involved.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in a maiden hurdle here and subsequent sixth of 15 in a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle was encouraging; signs in his pedigree that this step up in trip may suit.

0-7 over hurdles and rated 94; has shown ability in maiden hurdles but the closest she's got to the winner was when beaten 6.75l into third of 9 at Sligo (2m4f, good) last time; should be sharper for that first run back after a break but steps into the unknown here trip wise; others appeal more.
