Useful Flat racer who posted his career-best performance when placed in valuable handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to soft; RPR 94) this summer; gelded last month; looks a very interesting recruit to hurdling.

Runner-up off 1lb higher at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April and he's run respectably on his three starts since; this is less competitive than those last three outings and he might not be far away.

Kept on for second at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April and he's run well in fourth on both starts since (1m2f/1m4f, good to soft/good to firm); he's never raced over a trip this short and it isn't an obvious plus, but on the flip-side a well-run race in this big field should play to his strengths.

Fit from AW and hurdling when good second to Fierce Fortitude at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April, keeping on strongly; respectable fourth of 16 to a runaway winner at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago and should be okay back at 1m4f, but this race looks a bit too hot; 5lb claimer is recruited.

Form & Verdict
Probably ran to similar level of form when third on all three hurdling starts for Emma Lavelle this summer; recently changed hands for 3,200gns; can give another good account on this stable debut but probably needs to improve.

Back to winning ways in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in May and largely in good form since over hurdles; made mistakes when last of eight on his chasing debut at Market Rasen (2m1f) eight days ago and not discounted quickly returned to this sphere.

Record of 2-18 over hurdles and latest fourth at Uttoxeter wasn't too far off his best form; however, he's Flat bred so what he'll make of fences remains to be seen.

Form & Verdict
Irish raider; just a low-grade handicapper on the Flat but has taken well to hurdling in recent weeks; kept on from off the pace for creditable third of 11 at Ballinrobe (2m2f, soft) 18 days ago and ought to be better suited by the faster ground here; respected.

Disappointed on latest Flat start and is now 0-7 in this sphere but ran to fairly useful level when runner-up in consecutive 1m handicaps in May/June, and it's worth noting he's a half-brother to a useful French jumper.

Nearly 6l too good for Mojito Des Mottes in taking a Market Rasen juvenile last December (2m1f, good to soft), but sold out of Warren Greatrex's yard after a moderate handicap debut; this wouldn't be any easier, but no surprise were the wind surgery, tongue tie and/or move to his top new connections to prove transformative.
